Project Manager II, Construction Management. Pasadena Unified School District.

The Role:

This is an on-site project manager role based at the District's Facilities office in Altadena, embedded with the District team and reporting to Facilities Administration. You manage assigned projects from pre-construction through closeout.

The current work is a mix of occupied-campus modernizations delivered as lease-leaseback (two elementary school modernizations, a gym and pool modernization with athletic-facility work, and a restroom, campus-utilities, and athletic-field package) plus a design-build elementary rebuild with swing space. You coordinate architects, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and school-site staff, and you keep the work moving on occupied campuses without disrupting instruction.

Day to day you own scope, schedule, budget, and quality. You review change orders, estimates, and time impact analyses, keep the work compliant with DSA requirements and District standards, and produce the documentation and reporting the District relies on. This is hands-on, owner-side construction management on public school projects.

What You'll Own

• Assigned projects from pre-construction through closeout
• Scope, schedule, budget, and quality control
• Change order review, estimates, and time impact analysis
• Coordination across architects, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and school sites
• DSA compliance, District standards, and safety
• Project documentation, progress reports, and issue resolution

Requirements

What You Bring

• 7 to 10 years managing public-sector or K-12 construction, with active on-site construction oversight, not preconstruction or office-only roles
• Projects you personally ran on occupied campuses, with phasing that protected operations
• Lease-leaseback and/or design-build delivery experience
• A record of handling change orders and time impact analysis that held budget and schedule
• Working command of public-agency rules: bond funding, public bidding, prevailing wage, and DSA or comparable plan review
• Residential or multifamily housing construction experience is a strong plus, since it maps to occupied modernizations, finishes, and compressed schedules
• A bachelor's in construction management, architecture, or engineering, or equivalent professional experience

Preferred

• CCM (CMAA), PMP (PMI), PE or CA Architect license
• Demonstrated DSA-regulated project experience
• Based in or near the San Gabriel Valley for a daily on-site presence in Altadena

Compensation

• Approximately $124,000 to $137,000, based on the District billing rate
• Health, dental, and vision (low cost), 401k, 3 weeks PTO, and ESOP participation at no cost to you
