Job description

This is the full journey level. Under limited supervision, the Project Director II is responsible for providing oversight and management of major capital outlay projects from the planning phase through the design and construction phase. The Project Director II is assigned several projects, the number of which depend upon their size and complexity. Incumbents in this class may act independently as the Department's representative with consulting firms and are responsible for ensuring that the final product reflects the original scope and budget requirements. Incumbents manage projects which have greater levels of difficulty than the type of project described above. These projects are larger in scope and size and involve difficult issues such as asbestos removal, involvement with a toxic substance, a significant environmental issue, projects which are sensitive in the local community, or ones involving a very tight time frame for completion. Types of projects assigned to Project Directors II would include 3-or 4-story office buildings, larger water treatment and sewage systems, and the construction of one or more support facilities at the same location for various institutions. They also include sensitive projects such as installation of personal alarm systems or security systems in prisons or mental hospitals, smaller remodel or rehabilitation projects involving existing structures, parks and recreation projects involving significant environmental issues, smaller garage structures larger warehouse facilities and smaller specialized projects such as barns, exhibit halls, and communication installations. These projects tend to be larger in scope and dollar amount, thereby increasing the potential for larger change orders, and consequence of error.

Desirable Qualifications

Possession of a valid certificate of registration as an Architect issued by the California Board of Architectural Examiners or a valid certificate of registration as Civil, Structural, Mechanical or Electrical Engineer issued by the California Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
