About The Position

AECOM is seeking a Construction Project Manager to be based in New York, NY. This role will operate as a Construction Manager working directly with the NYC SCA on projects related to schools throughout New York City and the surrounding boroughs. The responsibilities include supporting overall management administration to the project and assisting in establishing project-specific objectives and policies. The role may provide technical direction and guidance to subordinate managers, enforce company and project policies, maintain a close client interface, and ensure all facets of the project are constructed in accordance with design, budget, and schedule through subordinate managers and supervisors. This position may have significant profit/loss responsibility for the assigned construction project. The role involves providing the administration and coordination of activities for the design and construction of complex and highly visible construction and modernization projects under the guidance of a senior-level SCA Project Officer. It is crucial to ensure the quality and high standards of performance and compliance in both design and construction by all consultants and vendors. The role requires making timely decisions and taking action to expedite the timely completion of the construction process, and correcting mistakes and errors in design and construction before they are extensively incorporated into the project or as early in the construction process as possible. Decisions on phasing and scheduling of projects are also part of the role. The Construction Project Manager will prepare and/or ensure the preparation of schedules for planning, design, and construction, monitor schedules, and take appropriate actions to ensure that the project is completed on schedule and within approved cost limitations. This role requires ongoing interface with contractors, construction managers, local school personnel, and Senior Project Officers on project issues, and routine interaction with SCA senior managers on such matters. Participation in the development and issuance of project procedures and policies, and reviewing and making recommendations on SCA-wide procedures and policies are also key aspects.
