About The Position

AECOM is seeking a candidate for the position of Project Manager IV in Sacramento, CA.

The Project Manager IV will also assist in the review and scoring of potential Progressive DB teams and the selection of the most qualified Progressive Design Build Entity. Key responsibilities include developing the program and design criteria within budget and schedule, verifying the budget and schedule for the design-build phase, assisting with the review of a successful GMP, and preparing monthly reports for executive meetings.

Evaluating Contractors’ proposed change order proposals, developing the Owner’s estimate, assisting with negotiations, and preparing all PCO and CO documentation are crucial. Risk analysis identification and mitigation strategies, maintaining project files for potential disputes, and tracking submittals and RFIs/RFCs are also key duties.
