  • Working in conjunction and collaboration with the University Architect and balancing design, budget, and schedule considerations, the AVP is the functional lead for all capital project management and all campus development activities. The AVP works collaboratively with the University Architect and the Director of Sustainability to ensure that planning and design standards continue to sustain the campus’ aesthetic features while promoting its efficient use and enhancing its sustainability, and works closely with Engineering, Utilities, and Operations groups to develop designs that facilitate efficient stewardship of new space.

Budget/ Resource Management

  • The AVP will play a lead role in the planning and execution of large-scale projects for the University. Additionally, the AVP supervises and participates in the development of RFPs, contracts, proposals for goods and services, and the management of service providers and vendors.

  • Experience with Capital Project Management Software (CPMS) tools for managing project workflows, documentation, and reporting.
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage technology to drive efficiency and innovation in capital project management.
  • Demonstrated experience in managing organizational change, including the successful implementation and adoption of new processes, systems, and technologies to improve overall efficiency and performance.

Strategic Organizational Effectiveness

  • Develop a “center of excellence” approach to project management that, by sharing expertise, methods, tools, and resources, will enhance the capabilities of other Princeton units that may continue to deliver some of their own projects.
  • Enhance the collaboration with the Office of the University Architect in strengthening the early stages of the project life cycle, notably in activities such as design development and the selection of architects and engineers.
  • Lead appropriate innovation in project-delivery models such as integrated project delivery so as to ensure that Princeton is always advancing projects optimally.
  • Contribute as a member of the senior leadership team of Facilities to its ongoing excellence in stewardship, professionalism, and collaboration.
