Qualifications:

The position may also require the development of plans using AutoCAD or other design software. The application of project organizational principles is required, and includes the development and distribution of technical memorandums and other technical writing assignments; value engineering analysis; and preparation of bid documents/contracts necessary to implement Capital projects in accordance with various design standards and local, state and federal regulations. In the construction management phase, the work would include communicating effectively with contractors, stakeholders and the public; inspecting the construction on the job site; reviewing submittals; documenting the construction progress in daily and weekly reports, administering change orders and directives where modifications in the contract work are required; measuring and tracking project completion; and processing payments. Types of Capital projects include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements; repair, retrofit or replacement of building systems (i.e., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, communications, and security systems); accessibility projects (occasionally including flat work in association with County facilities); facility assessments; roof replacement or repairs; and fire alarms/life safety projects. Some projects require adherence to required historic preservation guidelines.

Typically, two years of coursework in architecture or architectural engineering or a closely related field from an accredited college or university and four years of increasingly responsible experience managing commercial, institutional or industrial design and/or space planning projects. Architecture coursework may be substituted on a year by year basis for up to two years of the required experience.
