NC State is the largest university in North Carolina and quite literally a city within the capital city of Raleigh. The 900+ positions of the Facilities Division service the students and staff of the University’s teaching, research/administrative space and 2,240 acres of infrastructure. The Facilities Division provides design and building services, maintenance, custodial, landscape, solid waste removal, utility, mail, and motor pool services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This position resides in the Design and Construction (D&C) department and reports directly to the Assistant Vice Chancellor, Facilities D&C. The D&C department is responsible for delivering design and construction services for all project types (formal and informal) and oversees the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program. Managing hundreds of projects annually and a capital program worth more than $1B, the D&C department ensures projects are completed on time and within established budgets; meet Federal, State and local building codes; and meet university requirements with minimal disruption to on-going university activities.

Essential Job Duties

The Director of Informal Project Development serves as the Facilities Division’s primary project development liaison for campus projects <$300K.

This is a vital customer service role, often serving as the first Facilities Division point of contact for campus customers to develop the conceptual scope, budget and schedule of a “Facility Modification (FACMOD)” request, managed through a web-based customer portal (Service Now).

This position will supervise at least 1-2 employees and report directly to the Assistant Vice Chancellor, Facilities Design & Construction.

Leadership (supervisor of 1-2 direct reports, manager of the Facility Modification process and senior leader within the Facilities Division)
