The Position

The Port of Portland is hiring for a Pavement Asset Manager.

We are seeking an individual that would manage the development, implementation, and execution of the Port's asset management programs for pavements, bridges, sidewalks, pavement toppings, and rail at all Port locations. This role will ensure all assets are in compliance with FAA requirements and industry best practices, including managing condition assessments and database administration.

This position will lead the development and prioritization of preventative maintenance and rehabilitation projects, make recommendations to senior management and system owners on how to best allocate the budget, and serve as point of contact for asset management information requests.

From the Hiring Manager: "As critical transportation infrastructure, pavement is the largest asset category that the Port manages. The Pavement Asset Manager has their thumb on the pulse of these assets; tracking their condition, planning rehabilitation and replacement projects, and coordinating closely with stakeholders throughout the Port to ensure the right projects are completed at the right time. If you enjoy collaborating with others and managing large portfolios of transportation assets, such as pavements, bridges, and rail, this is a great opportunity to guide the development of this program."

We offer a flexible hybrid schedule to support both work-life balance and team collaboration. This role CANNOT be performed remotely.

Essential Job Duties

• Manage the asset management programs for rail, bridges, pavement toppings (e.g., epoxy coatings), and sidewalks at all Port locations.
• Manage the Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP) to ensure compliance with FAA AC No: 150/5380-7B, along with the PMP for non-aviation properties, which includes the Marine Terminals and Industrial/Commercial Properties.
• Facilitate Asset Management Planning (AMP) team discussions to identify and document asset refurbishment or rehabilitation strategies and conduct assessments to determine the condition of assets.
• Communicate the status of assets and the need to initiate projects to stakeholders, system owners and business line managers.
• Develop and maintain a 10-year asset management capital improvement forecast for all properties, which includes recommending when assets will receive major maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement, based on asset condition and the required level of service. Collaborate with project development managers and other stakeholders to develop business cases for capital projects.
• Manage and utilize the PAVER pavement management database, ensuring the data is routinely updated to accurately reflect annual condition surveys, pavement maps, and construction information. Utilize the data to forecast pavement condition index values and anticipate major maintenance projects.
• Conduct monthly airfield pavement inspections of Portland International Airport (PDX), Hillsboro Airport (HIO), and Troutdale Airport (TTD) runways, taxiways and aprons, and document distresses that will be monitored or repaired.
• Maintain monthly inspection information for a minimum of 5 years, including inspection date, location, distress types and maintenance scheduled or performed.
• Coordinate pavement inspections and surveys with various Port stakeholders to ensure operational impacts are limited.
• Implement and manage contracts for pavement condition index surveys, pavement geotechnical investigations, bridge inspections, cathodic protection analysis, rail assessments, and sidewalk assessments.
• Ensure the Annual Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Surveys are conducted in compliance with ASTM D5340, Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys.
