Shoreline is an inclusive City that endeavors to build a work culture which embraces diversity, encourages participation, and promotes equity.
First review of applications on March 11th. 
The City's Engineering team is busy and growing! We are seeking project managers to take the lead in the delivery of Capital Projects of various sizes and complexity. Our team supports an annual Capital Improvement Program of $50 million to $70 million with exciting project management opportunities on transportation, surface water, wastewater, and facilities projects. Project managers will collaborate with our motivated engineering team and be provided with opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and career development.
The Engineering team is part of the City of Shoreline's Public Works department which comprises over 60 people. Public Works includes three divisions (Engineering, Utility Operations, and Transportation Services) which provide planning, project delivery, operational services, and maintenance services to our community. We are a collaborative team focused on the needs of our community. We operate based on a philosophy of continuous improvement and are pleased to have achieved the American Public Works Association (APWA) accreditation. We serve a growing, ethnically and racially diverse community of 56,000 located directly north of Seattle in King County, Washington.
With this posting we are seeking to fill two or more Engineer II – Capital Projects positions. The individuals selected for these positions will manage programs and/or Capital Projects from the planning stage through design and construction close-out. Project management assignments will include a combination of the following:
 

• Roadway projects 
• New sidewalk and sidewalk rehabilitation projects
• Off corridor bike network projects 
• Surface water projects 
• Wastewater projects
• Facilities projects

The individuals selected may be asked to assist in the management of large projects and programs, including engagement with one or more of the City’s large complex corridor projects (N 145th Street Corridor and I-5 Interchange, N 175th Street Corridor Improvements, N 145th Street Corridor Phases 2 and 3, 148th Street Pedestrian Bridge). The Program Management role consists of project prioritization (including equity and climate impact mapping), project planning and packaging, financial forecasting and tracking, and other program management activities. The Project Management role consists of planning, management, and design (or oversight of engineering consultants for design) of capital projects from inception through construction close-out in collaboration with other team members and utility managers. We seek motivated individuals with capital project delivery experience and expertise or desire to grow. New project managers will play a key role in expanding the Capital Team’s capacity and capability to deliver Capital Projects. The ideal candidate will be able to work equally well independently and in inter-divisional teams to develop and deliver projects within established schedules and budgets.
