Princeton, United States InsideHigherEd Full time
Overview

The Program Manager, Commissioning creates planning and management oversight of Capital Projects in-house Tech Teams, consisting of Project Engineering and Building Commissioning processes and related survey, testing and systems turnover requirements, to prepare construction projects for final occupancy. Reporting to the Program Executive, Office of Capital Projects (OCP), manage the Quality Control/Quality Assurance responsibilities associated with Facilities Capital Project execution. Assume a leadership role in coordination of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) design interests for new construction and renovation projects, with emphasis on implementing University energy savings and sustainability standards.

 

Serve in a leadership role on Facilities Committees aligned with university campus planning initiatives, such as the Sustainability Advocacy Committee (SAC). Contribute to project sustainability discussions, determining appropriate levels of green building components, energy design criteria and projections of campus utility optimization aligning with long term campus planning goals and associated Capital Projects. Further develop sustainability design initiatives and integrate them into office best practices such as within the DSM and across design and other technical reviews.

 

Lead the OCP Quality Assurance role for projects by assessing Construction Manager and/or subcontractor compliance with specified quality control requirements, such as implementing the full range of MEP Pre Functional and Functional Commissioning tests. Expand the current OCP Commissioning Program to include architectural/civil trades and across appropriate projects otherwise assigned to consulting commissioning agents. Direct in-house Commissioning staff for all single-party commissioning assignments, and coordinate consulting commissioning teams on large projects.

 

Expand development of current Quality Control standards documented in the Facilities Design Standards Manual (DSM). Work closely with OCP Architectural and Sustainability Project Engineers to maintain Facilities Department MEP design standards and update them on a regular basis. Oversee an expanded technical document review process to maximize the impact of the DSM across consulting project design teams. Function as the point of contact for these technical reviews conducted on design submissions among various Facilities offices including Operations, Building Services and Facilities Engineering. Manage Facilities interdepartmental relationships to ensure all MEP stakeholder comments and concerns are addressed on each technical review.

 

In collaboration with Facilities Operations, oversee the building turnover process for review of project systems documentation, Commissioning Tests, Construction Issues logs, Punch lists, building automation system (BAS) trending and alarms, and other outstanding issues not resolved at the point of beneficial occupancy. Systems turnover would culminate with a Systems Turnover Meeting (STOM) to include Facilities Operations representatives, Special Facilities representatives, AE team members, the CM and Commissioning Agent (Cx) where applicable. Manage OCP internal capabilities to perform inspections required on capital projects including roofing inspection, waterproofing inspection, air, and water pre / post testing (for Passive House certification or otherwise), and pipe/structural welding inspections. Develop and manage internal capacity to perform LEED and other sustainability certification administration.

 

Redevelop and manage internal resources required to maintain the existing Facilities Geographic Information System (GIS) layers associated with Civil, Site, and Landscape planning.

 

Responsibilities

 

Individual duties and responsibilities for this job include the following:

  • Manage Staff assigned to survey, testing and Cx activities that advance each construction-phase project towards acceptance, occupancy and close out.           
  • Coordinate the design interests of several Facilities Offices into a central point of contact for new construction and renovation projects. This includes design critique, innovative thinking, and post-occupancy problem-solving. Explore alternative project funding sources (Major Maintenance, SAC, etc.) to supplement proposed capital improvement investment in a way that results in better evaluation of opportunity costs across the Capital Program.             
  • Maintain Facilities Department MEP design standards and update them on a regular basis to ensure competitive bidding is achieved while standards are properly integrated into contract documents.             
  • Review MEP Design/Bid packages to confirm proper coordination with the project design plans. Resolve technical design differences that emerge between various Facilities stakeholders. Aid the Project Manager in bringing closure to the comments generated regarding design details, mock-ups, and Commissioning requirements. Assist the Project Manager in determining the completeness of design submissions.    
  • Coordinate with OCP Construction Managers (PUCM) to ensure systems quality is maintained through the construction process, including review of Commissioning testing, change orders, ASIs, and revisions for technical compatibility with Facilities requirements.
