About this role
University of Tennessee at Martin's Facilities Planning Services team is looking for a Project Manager to manage the full lifecycle of campus construction and renovation projects. You would handle space planning and programming, develop architectural designs under the Director's supervision, prepare construction documents and cost estimates, and coordinate with consulting engineers and campus stakeholders. The role also involves reviewing contractor work, maintaining project schedules, and managing construction contracts—essentially serving as a bridge between design intent and on-site execution.
This position requires a bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, or a related field, plus four years of project or construction management experience. You'll need strong technical skills, particularly proficiency in AutoCAD Architecture and familiarity with institutional renovation work. The job demands excellent communication abilities and the capacity to juggle multiple projects at different stages. You should be comfortable occasionally working evenings or weekends and traveling as needed.
If you have a construction or project management background and want to apply your expertise in a university environment, this role offers direct involvement in campus infrastructure decisions. The in-office requirement in Memphis means you'd be on-site to observe projects and collaborate closely with facilities leadership.
