Project Manager-Capital Projects - Arch

Job Summary:

Join the vibrant and highly skilled Capital Project Delivery (CPD) team responsible for managing all of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's medium to large capital projects with project values of $600,000 and up. Our current workload is at $1.6B and growing.

CPD delivers exceptional customer service to UW-Madison's Schools, Colleges, and Divisions to help them imagine, plan, develop, build, renovate, or replace their academic, research, and other collegiate facilities. A successful Project Manager candidate will have a blended set of skills in technical project management, problem solving, and interpersonal intelligence. In this job it helps to be curious and open to learn new fields and to gain new expertise when the opportunity arises.

Project Managers take on the responsibility of ensuring projects meet the customer's needs by skillfully navigating the wide array of tasks and responsibilities and bringing projects within scope, on schedule and in budget. We deliver projects using a team comprised of Architect/Engineer (A/E) consultants and general contractors (GC) selected through state mandated processes.

A/E consultants then provide full design and construction administration services. Contractors perform all their own construction project management including coordination of MEP and other sub-contractors. CPD coordinates the A/E and GC work with campus and outside stakeholders to ensure design and construction conform to UW standards and meet the customer needs. We encourage you to apply to become part of our team and help transform our built environment and provide excellence in facilities services for our university community.
