  • The ability to navigate complex interdepartmental dynamics, resolve conflict professionally, and negotiate value-driven solutions for the institution.

Preferred Qualification:

  • A LEED AP credential is highly desirable.

Working Conditions & Physical Demands:

  • This position operates in a fast-paced administrative office environment but requires regular visits to active construction sites, open campus spaces, and support areas (mechanical/electrical rooms).
