Project Manager - Construction Management - University Campus Facilities
About The Position
San Diego State University is building and modernizing 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.
