Job summary

Luster is seeking a Change Manager to support large-scale heavy civil infrastructure programs in New York and beyond. You will drive change control, develop independent cost estimates, and coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure accurate baselines and defensible positions on change orders.

Ideal candidates have extensive experience with change proposals, entitlements, pricing, and time impacts, plus familiarity with PMIS and CPM tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, construction engineering, or business administration, or related field.
• 10+ years of construction change control, change order, or claims experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
• Experience leading the change control process on a construction contract package, including change identification, entitlement determination, pricing, executed change order, and coordination of the estimators, schedulers, and analysts who support change evaluation.
• Experience evaluating change proposals, requests for equitable adjustment, or claims for entitlement, cost, and schedule impact, and recommending a position to the owner.
• Experience developing or reviewing independent cost estimates and time impact analyses that test contractor-submitted pricing and delay claims.
• Experience preparing change board or governance packages and presenting recommendations to owner decision-makers.
• Working knowledge of public works contract provisions governing changes, differing site conditions, delays, and notice and claim requirements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365

Responsibilities

• Support the programs change control process from early identification through entitlement determination, pricing, negotiation, and executed change order.
• Track every change notice and open change item in the log to a documented decision within the timeframes the contract allows.
• Evaluate change proposals, requests for equitable adjustment, and claims for contractual entitlement, and recommend a position supported by the contract language and the factual record.
• Develop and review independent cost estimates and time impact analyses that test contractor-submitted pricing and delay claims rather than accepting the submitted numbers.
• Coordinate with the estimators, schedulers, and analysts supporting change evaluation, and apply a consistent approach to how changes are analyzed, priced, and documented.
• Prepare change board packages that carry the recommendation, the independent analysis, the funding source, and the consequence of not acting, and present them to program decision-makers.
• Support negotiation of change order value and time extensions alongside the contracting officer or contract administrator, and document what was agreed and what was released.
• Process approved change orders through the contract, and confirm each one is reflected in the contract value, the baseline schedule, the budget, and the affected drawings and specifications.
• Coordinate change evaluation with the programs engineering, inspection, right of way, and operations groups.
• Evaluate impacts to active operations and existing facilities before a change is approved.
• Analyze differing site conditions, design changes, and third-party-driven changes on bridges, underground work, and systems, and separate what the contract already covers from what it does not.
• Report change trends, open change exposure, and pending time extensions to executive program leadership so cost and schedule risk is visible before it lands.
• Maintain configuration control of the change record and the affected technical documentation, including version control, revision history, and audit trails.
• Keep entitlement decisions, pricing basis, and correspondence retrievable for internal and external audit, funding review, and dispute resolution.
