• Advocating for proper budget to carry out the improvements at DOTI Facilities

• Space planning and inventory assessment of DOTI buildings, storage areas, equipment, and assets

• Executive level communication to consolidate and prioritize multiple DOTI divisional needs, and/or competing interests in shared spaces

• Field visits to DOTI campuses throughout the City to evaluate space constraints, challenges, damage, reconfigurations, and new ideas

• Coordination with other agencies in shared spaces to identify the highest and best use of the space for Citywide objectives

• Serve as main point of contact between DOTI Divisions and IA Delivery Team. Facilitates effective communication and manages all project-related correspondence.

This is an opportunity to leverage good work that has already been accomplished and to build upon a great project management team, responsible for facilitating the planning, programming, design, new construction, and renovations of City buildings and facilities.
