What you will do:

As a Construction Project Manager, you will perform senior level project management of improvement projects from inception to turn over to the Park, including scope, cost estimate, office engineering, permit processing, bid management support, construction management, consultant contract management and construction inspection and testing. You will manage the design and construction of complex, high-risk capital construction projects for agency structures or infrastructure.  Construction projects can have a high degree of diversity, use innovative or advanced design and construction techniques, require alternative or complex contracting methods, or have other complicated construction features. Projects present diversified and novel problems in which established criteria and technical precedents frequently do not apply. You will typically not be able to rely on precedent or standard data in making judgments and decisions.

In this role, you will have a high degree of input and latitude when consulting with agency executives to plan and define project needs, coordinate the budget and legislative approval process, and oversee the contract process from design through construction.  You will identify needs for alternative contracting methods and initiate exemptions to standard contracting processes by developing findings in support of contract exemptions and coordinating approval processes.  You will also coordinate intergovernmental agreements for development of construction projects involving structures and infrastructure.  You will identify and work to mitigate unanticipated events that may delay construction and take necessary actions to keep projects within time and budget constraints.

Additionally, you will provide consultation and construction management for the agency’s largest projects.  The emphasis will be the management, design and construction of infrastructure, structures, and paving related projects as part of the Facility Investment Program (FIP). You will manage the marine program, statewide, and the related management of the various IGA’s with the Oregon State Marine Board for reimbursement for qualified improvements.
