Executive Director of Facilities and Capital Planning

The Executive Director of Facilities and Capital Planning (hereinafter Director) will report to the Chief of Operations and will interact at a significant level with a wide range of staff across PPSD, the City of Providence Department of Public Property, the Rhode Island Department of Education, the Rhode Island Governor's Office, as well as with other public agencies. The Director will be responsible for supporting the advancement of district capital planning, new school construction, and major school renovation projects, ensuring capital budgeting through final project execution are completed efficiently and with the interests of Providence's students foremost in mind. The individual in this role will also be responsible for managing the district's maintenance and custodial budget, ensuring contracted maintenance and custodial activities meet standards of high-quality and are appropriately delivered. We are looking for a seasoned facilities leader to meet the ambitious goals set forth by the district. This role is an exciting opportunity to serve as a leader within a diverse and dynamic team committed to the audacious task of transforming public education in Providence Public Schools. By any measure, and over many years, the Providence Public School District (PPSD) has failed to deliver on its most fundamental obligation: fair and equitable access to a rigorous education for all children. The time for change is now and the district is in the process of a game-changing transformation led by a newly appointed State Turnaround Superintendent, in coordination with the Rhode Island Department of Education and with the support of the larger Providence community. Since the beginning of the state intervention, expectations for what is possible with district facilities has changed dramatically. While just a short while ago the district's capital plan was focused on small, band-aid fixes, it is now a comprehensive, multi-year plan focused on getting 100% of students in new or like new schools by 2030.
