• Construction oversight of OARs and the largest, most complex programs
• Resolution of complex project issues, disputes, and high-impact change orders

• Progress against construction schedules and variance monitoring across the portfolio
• Functional direction over cost control, dispute resolution, contract administration, and quality control
• Fiscal management across multiple projects and coordination across District branches

• Path B: 25 years of project and construction management, 20 of them managing large programs with projects over $50M (not cumulative), plus the same 5 years; degree and CCM preferred, not required

Why MAAS

MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50+ educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential. You are not chasing the next contract.

As a MAAS employee, you are also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP, a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.

In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it is a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other.
