Project Manager, Facilities

The Judicial Council of California is accepting applications for the position of Project Manager, Facilities for the Facilities Services office.

Under the supervision of the unit manager, the Project Manager exercises independent judgment with the planning, design and construction of renovation and improvement projects of all scopes and sizes. Incumbents are also responsible for budget and schedule tracking, design management, and/or project administration. Workload and count will vary based on project complexity, but generally this position will manage 12-20 projects concurrently.

Today, these positions are required to manage an average of 8.6 projects per year, with an estimated value of $5.6M approved by the Trial Court Facilities Modification Working Group. Work includes the necessary processes and procedures to develop and manage the execution of Facility Modifications. Facility Modifications (FM) projects include but are not limited to minor construction, tenant improvements, system and infrastructure renewal, and equipment replacement.

The Judicial Council of California is the policy setting body for the state court system and has constitutionally conferred statewide rule-making authority. This authority includes developing, advocating for, and allocating the judicial branch budget. A majority of Council members are California state justices and judges; however, the Council also includes lawyers, legislators, and court administrators.

By enhancing its role as a leadership, knowledge, and service resource for the judicial branch, the Judicial Council’s staff organization seeks to continue to evolve as one of California’s most dynamic public service entities, focused on improving access to justice for all Californians by innovating and responding to the changing needs of the courts and the public. As a government body charged with improving the statewide administration of justice, the Judicial Council has multiple offices with diverse responsibilities relating to court policy and operations.

As employees of the council, every member of staff should view and approach their work as one Judicial Council with a public service mission that is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Judicial Council strives for work life balance and includes substantial vacation and holiday time. In addition, we offer an excellent benefits package including pension, medical, dental and vision coverage, flexible spending, up to $130 per month reimbursement for qualifying mass transit costs, student loan forgiveness as part of Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), and retirement savings plans. In Sacramento, the office is located minutes from downtown, just north of Discovery Park.

The San Francisco office is only a 7-minute walk from the Civic Center BART station.

The Judicial Council offers hybrid work arrangements for many positions. The successful candidate will be expected to work in person at the Judicial Council’s San Francisco or Sacramento office at least two days per week, based on their office leader’s direction, and reside in the areas surrounding these locations. To be eligible for Judicial Council employment and participation in the Judicial Council’s Hybrid Work Program, a prospective or current employee’s primary residence/remote work location must be in the State of California and within a 150-mile driving radius of their assigned reporting location.
