Job/Department Summary:

Under the general direction of the Director of Design and Construction, the Project Manager manages design and construction of complex capital construction projects for CSU, Chico buildings and facilities. Construction projects have a high degree of diversity, use innovative or advanced building design and construction, require alternative, often complex contracting methods, and have other complicated construction features. Employee consults with Department and University executives to plan and define facility needs, coordinate the budget, and oversee the contract process from design through construction. Employee manages projects that incorporate complex design features, unusual building materials, and advanced building techniques. Projects present diversified and novel problems in which often, established criteria and technical precedents frequently do not apply. Typically, the employee cannot rely on precedent or standard data in making judgments and decisions.

The Project Manager carries out their work with considerable freedom, frequently selecting the approach to resolve complex problems.
