This role delivers Success Academy's New York City renovation and capital program, roughly 25 to 60 projects a year across 59 schools. ## Key Responsibilities - Own the annual project list from scope development through construction, punch list, closeout, and turnover to operations. - Build and hold the summer calendar, including sequencing, access windows, long-lead items, and the dates past which a project cannot start and still finish before scholars return. - Develop standardized scopes and specifications for recurring work types so each project is not designed from scratch. - Run competitive procurement, bid leveling, exclusion review, and award recommendations within approved policy. - Review drawings, specifications, scopes, estimates, and change requests for technical completeness, constructability, operational impact, and alignment with approved standards. - Coordinate architects, engineers, contractors, school leaders, agency partners, and internal teams so decisions are timely and work is sequenced to protect life safety and continuity of instruction. - Require documented scope, pricing, technical justification, and schedule impact before any change-order commitment, and route unbudgeted scope through a separate approval rather than the contingency line. - Track cost, schedule, quality, risk, and dependencies across the whole program, maintaining credible baselines, a rolling forecast, and decision-ready reporting. - Inspect work in progress and verify completed work is safe, functional, documented, and ready for school use before final acceptance. - Confirm each completed project hands over with as-built information, warranties, operations and maintenance material, and preventive-maintenance requirements the operations team can execute. - Hold contractors to contract requirements, schedule commitments, workmanship, and timely resolution of defects, and maintain a qualified contractor bench with performance tracked across projects. ## Qualifications - Demonstrated delivery of a high-count construction or renovation program, meaning many concurrent projects rather than a few large ones. - Experience delivering work in occupied buildings within fixed access windows, ideally schools. - Ability to read and challenge drawings, specifications, estimates, schedules, bids, and change orders. - Command of project budgets, forecasting, procurement, bid leveling, change control, closeout, and warranty administration. - Practical knowledge of core building systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, controls, fire and life safety, accessibility, and envelope. - Experience standardizing scopes or specifications so repeat work is not redesigned every time. - Strong field judgment, willingness to inspect conditions directly, and disciplined documentation. - Clear communication with school leaders, contractors, and internal partners, and the credibility to hold a contractor to a commitment. - Experience with term contracts, job-order contracting, or similar mechanisms that reduce procurement time on repetitive work is preferred. ## Work Expectations - This is a New York City-based, field-oriented role requiring regular presence across the schools. - The heaviest load falls in summer and school-break windows, including occasional evening and weekend work during active construction. ## Compensation, Benefits & Perks - Day-One Health & Wellness: Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting your first day (SA covers 82% of our core medical plan), plus a free One Medical membership and confidential mental health support via EAP/Talkspace. - Financial Security: 403(b) retirement plan with a 3% employer match, up to $2,400/year in employer HSA contributions, employer-paid life/disability insurance, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility. - Time to Recharge: Generous paid time off, paid holidays, and paid parental leave. - Perks & Stipends: A $50/month cell phone stipend ($600/year), pre-tax commuter benefits, backup family care, and performance-based earning incentives. ## Skills ### Required - project management - construction management - procurement - budgeting - forecasting - HVAC - electrical - plumbing - controls - fire and life safety - accessibility - envelope ### Nice to have - term contracts - job-order contracting --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/successacademycharterschool/jobs/5431337008?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
