About Us

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is one of the largest, most complex agencies in the state, and has approximately 17,000 employees. It is responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of all North Carolinians, providing human service needs for special populations including individuals who are deaf, blind, developmentally disabled, and mentally ill, and helping poor North Carolinians achieve economic independence.

Description of Work

1. (40%) Project Management of the design, bidding, and construction of multi-discipline architectural and engineering and multi-million dollar capital improvement building projects to assure that they are properly designed to meet the department's needs and within the available funds.

Rather, it is intended to supplement design capacity and to provide the ability respond more quickly to needs once they are identified as well as to save the Department of Health and Human Services money on design fees.
4. (15%) Perform site visits and facility assessments to determine the needs and priorities for capital improvements. As mentioned above, site visits will be prerequisites to the submission of budget requests to verify our priority of requests and to answer any questions posed by the Office of State Budget and Management or the Joint Legislative Committee on Governmental Operations.
