Position Overview

Position Summary

Positions in this class typically plan, design, manage, and review construction, development, or manipulation of the physical environment for practical, esthetic, religious, or creative objectives, such as university facilities, office buildings, theaters, industrial facilities, landscaping, and/or other physical property. They assess programmatic needs, available funding, site constraints, and regulatory requirements and develop a design that addresses project requirements. They may analyze and/or review consultant firms' construction and renovation plans to ensure all plans are functional, safe, economical, and sufficient to meet the needs of the community. Positions in this banded class are typically involved in all phases of project development, from the initial programming and scope definition with the user groups and other stakeholders through the entire construction process including close-out. They may be involved in obtaining construction bids, selecting contractors, and negotiating construction contracts. After discussing and agreeing on the initial proposal, some positions may develop final construction documents (drawings and specifications.) Typically included in these documents is: drawings of the structural system; air- conditioning, heating, and ventilating systems; electrical systems; communications systems; plumbing, utility, site; landscaping, and/or related physical structures. The documents specify the building materials and, in some cases, the interior furnishings. In developing designs, these positions follow building codes, zoning laws, fire regulations, and other ordinances. As construction proceeds, they visit building construction sites to make sure that contractors follow the design, adhere to the schedule, use the specified materials, and meet work quality standards. Positions within this profession have similar job duties, but differ primarily in relation to the size, scope, and complexity of the projects they are assigned. Positions at the highest levels tend to work on “large scale” projects and/or oversee programs that have a significant budgetary, economic, organizational, and community impact.
