- Coordinate extensively with internal departments such as Environmental Health & Safety, Facilities Planning, Asset Management, Inspection, and Maintenance & Operations
- Ensure strict compliance with public agency requirements, including documentation, reporting, and audit readiness

- Contribute to the development and implementation of internal processes and best practices to enhance program delivery

- At least 5 years of experience managing large capital programs, with individual project values exceeding $50 million (non-cumulative)
- Proven track record delivering projects within public school districts, higher education systems, or similarly complex public works environments (strong preference for LAUSD or comparable districts)

- Strong working knowledge of:
- Public sector contract administration
- Cost control, budgeting, and financial oversight within funded programs

- Quality assurance and regulatory compliance
- Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
- OR equivalent combination of education and extensive industry experience

- Highly Preferred Experience:
