Position Summary
North Central College seeks an experienced Project Coordinator to support day to day campus operations and assist in the coordination of various campus projects including, renovation and construction projects across campus on behalf of the Operations & Facilities department. This position manages the full project lifecycle — from initial scoping and budgeting through design, bidding, construction administration, and closeout — for projects ranging from small departmental renovations to mid-size academic and residential upgrades to large-scale capital construction. This individual serves as the College’s primary point of coordination among architects, engineers, contractors, campus stakeholders and leadership, departmental directors and regulatory agencies, ensuring projects are completed, delivered safely, on schedule, on budget, and in a manner that minimizes disruption to the campus community.
Description of Key Responsibilities
- Partners with Facilities leadership, academic and administrative departments, and campus stakeholders to define project scope, objectives, and success criteria for renovation and construction projects across campus.
Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
- Ability to communicate in the English language, both orally and in writing, with particular emphasis on the ability to produce documents that are attractively formatted and present proper spelling, grammatical usage and punctuation.
- Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings and specifications.
- Working knowledge of construction contracts (e.g., AIA documents), building codes, ADA requirements, and construction safety standards.
- Knowledge and ability to effectively manage project and departmental budgets, including tracking commitments, expenditures, variances, and cash-flow projections.
- Strong scheduling and vendor/contract management skills, including the ability to run competitive bidding processes and administer contracts and change orders.
- Proficiency with project management and scheduling software (e.g., MS Project, Procore, Bluebeam) and standard office software.
- Ability to continuously demonstrate outstanding interpersonal skills in dealing with college personnel, contractors, architects, and municipal officials, both on the telephone and in person. Ability to work cooperatively with others.
- Ability to be involved with several projects concurrently, to continually monitor their status, and to prioritize activities so that deadlines are met and overall project effectiveness is maximized. These characteristics require an individual who is well organized, detail oriented and flexible.
- Ability, and inclination, to exercise discretion with regard to confidential information (e.g., contract pricing, budgets) and to conform to all requirements regarding release of information.
- Knowledge of regulatory standards and procedures, i.e. ADA, IEPA / NESHAP, and OSHA required.
Distinguishing Characteristics
- This position requires a disciplined individual who is able to consistently complete work, some of which is prescribed by building code, ADA, and environmental regulation, accurately and within tight time frames.
- Much of the information dealt with by the individual in this position — including contract pricing, project budgets, and vendor proposals — is of a sensitive and confidential nature. The ability to exercise discretion in all matters and to adhere precisely to legally required constraints and to specific College policies regarding release of information is essential.
- The individual in this position is an integral member of a relatively small administrative staff and as such must be flexible and work cooperatively with others, at times to the extent of assisting other staff members in the performance of their work.
- This position interacts on a regular basis with college personnel, architects, engineers, contractors, and municipal officials, both on the telephone and in person, and requires interpersonal skills of the highest order.
- Individuals in this position may be required to work at times that are other than, or in addition to, normal hours and days, including responding at any time to construction emergencies, utility shutdowns, severe weather, and other emergency conditions.
