The Project Delivery Group (PDG) has an outstanding opportunity for Project Manager to join their team.

The Project Delivery Group (PDG) has an outstanding opportunity for a Project Manager to serve as the University’s representative to lead the planning, design, procurement, construction, and acceptance of capital or real estate projects within the limits of delegated authority and the approved project budget. Well-planned projects ensure clear expectations, roles and responsibilities are clearly identified, business cases are well-defined, and business and project governance is defined. The foundation of our planning comes from the Capital Budget and Campus Master Plan.

Under the general supervision of the Director, Project Managers are responsible for one or more major projects, multiple special projects or real estate projects. Major projects include construction of new buildings or major renovations of an existing building. Projects above $15M are reported on a monthly basis to the University’s Board of Regents and other campus leadership. Special projects are typically renovations of portions of an existing building or utility system. Real estate projects are typically new buildings or interior fit-outs that include lease agreement negotiations; they may occur in buildings owned by other entities on their property or on property ground leased to them by the University. Occasionally, major projects may be delivered by a private developer through a ground lease of university-owned property for occupancy by the University and/or third parties.

The Project Delivery Group places a strong emphasis on skilled and versatile project managers who are able to lead projects through their full life cycle from planning through post-occupancy. We value a leadership mindset, excellent communication skills, facility with budgets and schedules, and an ability to work with all members of project delivery teams in a highly collaborative environment.
