Senior Project Manager

Reporting to the Assistant Director of Design & Construction in the Capital Projects and Construction (CPC) department, the Senior Project Manager is responsible for overseeing construction projects that create, repair, remodel, maintain, or preserve the physical assets and utility systems at Portland State University. The Senior Project Manager is responsible for overseeing the planning, design, and construction of projects of various sizes, including very large projects.

The Senior Project Manager provides timely, cost-effective, and professional services that enhance the instructional, research, and service goals of the University, and manages construction projects on campus from inception to completion. The Senior Project Manager manages full-time and student employees.

For large projects, in collaboration with the Associate Vice President of Planning Construction and Real Estate (PCRE), CPC Director, Director of Contracts & Purchasing, and other selection team members, the Construction Project Manager will interview and hire design consultants and construction contractors. Following the selection of consultants and contractors, the Senior Project Manager will oversee the execution of the project work in its entirety, including closeout and turnover of the project to the facility occupants and Facilities and Property Management (FPM)

For smaller projects, the Senior Project Manager will work with either external consultants or the CPC Technical Services Team to create design and construction documents. The Senior Project Manager will then oversee the execution of these projects by either contractors or the CPC in-house construction crew. Responsibility will include closeout and turnover of the project to the facility occupants and Facilities and Property Management (FPM).
