Sr. Project Manager

University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199


Under the general direction of the Associate Director of Project Delivery, the Health Design and Construction Sr. Project Manager (PM) is accountable for project management services to ensure design and construction projects are on schedule, within budget, high-quality, cost-effective, and appropriate to client program needs. The PM simultaneously manages multiple projects of various sizes in the challenging healthcare construction environment. Services include all elements of project management from concept through project closeout, including initial scoping, budgeting, funding, procurement, construction management, and closeout of large and small projects.

The PM organizes, plans, and controls the design and construction efforts on projects ranging from $50,000 to $70,000,000. This involves selecting professional design staff (architects and engineers), general contractors, and subcontractors; coordinating the activities of clients, construction inspectors, and others associated with the projects; managing project progress to achieve overall project objectives consistent with department standards and in alignment with customer expectations, including budget, cost, and quality; resolving problems that arise in the projects; and working with state agency officials to ensure compliance and safety. The project manager has a first line responsibility to communicate effectively with project stakeholders regarding program, budget, schedule, and construction impact. The PM provides support to the annual Capital Budget development process and may be responsible for coordinating the activities of Real Estate Assistant Project Managers as directed.

The PM represents UCSF on design and construction projects, including new development, facility expansion, renovations, and retrofitting. Responsibilities include coordinating, monitoring, and reporting on all design and construction activities, administrating consultant and construction agreements, facilitating quality control, and maintaining design and construction schedules. The PM manages medium to large size teams of external vendors and internal affiliate and service line staff on medium to large projects. Demonstrating a mastery of project management, the PM works with a high degree of autonomy and is responsible for delivering medium to large scale projects with moderate to difficult complexity, ensuring projects are delivered on-time and on budget. The PM exercises independent judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.

The PM leads the developmental stage of capital projects to assure that project scope, schedule, and phasing are adequately defined. The PM uses Health D&C project benchmarks and/or works with design professionals to create the preliminary project budget and schedule.

The PM defines working criteria for a proposed project, determining hazardous materials, infection control, phasing of work, and fire and life safety requirements that are necessary. The PM estimates the design review efforts for a project to assure that the quality of the construction documents is sufficient to minimize the risk of cost overruns during construction.

The PM coordinates the efforts of the Inspector of Record, state agencies (e.g., OSHPD), the contractor, and University representatives to ensure code compliance and quality of work, and a constructive relationship with the regulators. The PM prepares and verifies that all required documentation is completed prior to occupancy or authorized approval of a project.

With the support of the D&C relocation, furniture, equipment, and IT coordinators, and in cooperation with other UCSF Health and Campus support units, the PM assures that all aspects of the project are addressed in a timely manner.

The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.
