• Support facility turnover, staff training, and operational readiness to ensure seamless transitions into new or renovated spaces.
• Ensure complete project close‑out, including final inspections, warranties, as‑built drawings, O&M manuals, and documentation required for long‑term facility operation.

Your Experience Should Include:

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• Minimum 10 years of experience managing complex facility infrastructure and construction projects in occupied, operational environments
• Demonstrated experience managing a high annual project volume, including oversight of 50 or more construction and/or infrastructure projects per year, with direct responsibility for aggregating annual capital budgets of no less than $10 million
