What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager - Construction Management - University Campus Facilities position at MAAS Companies?
Project Manager Facilities Development – San Diego State University Staff Augmentation | MAAS Companies
The Work
San Diego State University is building and modernizing the campus facilities that will serve students for generations. As Project Coordinator, you'll lead that work end to end — from pre-planning and design through bidding, construction, and closeout. You'll manage budgets, schedules, consultants, and contractors; negotiate change orders; enforce contract compliance; and represent SDSU across stakeholder groups including architects, engineers, community organizations, and state agencies.
This isn't a siloed role. You'll be the central accountability point on complex, bond-funded projects — solving problems before they become crises and keeping ambitious timelines on track.
What You'll Own
- Full lifecycle management of school modernization and new construction projects within scope, schedule, and budget
- Consultant and contractor coordination, including contract amendments and change order review
- Design and construction quality control, commissioning, and project closeout
- Regular status reporting and stakeholder meetings with administrators, community groups, and agency partners
- Recovery strategies when scope, schedule, or budget drift
What You Bring
- Degree in architecture, building engineering, or a related field
- 8 years of progressively responsible experience in architecture or engineering, with a construction emphasis
- Deep knowledge of California public building codes and public bidding requirements
- Proficiency in CADD, MS Word, Excel, and Project
- Valid California driver's license
- A track record of leading complex, politically sensitive projects with multiple stakeholders
Why MAAS
MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50 educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential — you're not chasing the next contract.
As a MAAS employee, you're also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP — a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.
In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it's a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other. That's not a perk. It's how the company runs.
