Job Description Summary
Eastern Oregon University invites applications for the position of Capital Projects Coordinator within the Facilities & Planning Department. This role supports the university's capital construction and Capital Improvement & Renewal (CIR) programs and plays an important part in maintaining disciplined capital execution systems, financial tracking, documentation integrity, and structured project closeout processes.
This position is funded through Article XI bond funds and is fully allocable to bond-funded capital construction and renewal projects.
Reporting within the Facilities & Planning capital program structure, the Capital Projects Coordinator provides project coordination and project controls support across capital construction and renewal efforts. Responsibilities include supporting front-end project definition, construction-phase coordination, budget and change tracking, documentation of risks and unresolved issues, and adherence to funding compliance requirements.
This is a hands-on capital execution role suited for an early-career project professional with experience supporting construction projects who is looking to grow within a structured higher education environment. Capital program governance and funding decisions are guided by established institutional planning processes.
The position works closely with external project management consultants, Facilities leadership, and campus stakeholders to ensure projects are well-documented, effectively tracked, and successfully transitioned into operations in a disciplined and compliant manner.
Responsibilities
  • Participate in design reviews and construction coordination meetings; document cost, schedule, and scope impacts for leadership review.
  • Support front-end project definition activities, including scope clarification, constructability coordination, preliminary cost and schedule input compilation, and risk identification prior to construction.
  • Maintain structured project controls, including commitment and change tracking, contingency monitoring, variance reporting, and management of the risk register and unresolved issues log.
  • Help prevent material scope ambiguity, unresolved issue, or unmitigated risk from advancing into construction without documented resolution.
  • Maintain documentation sufficient to support Article XI bond allocability and Oregon public financing compliance.
  • Support CIR documentation, renewal tracking, and lifecycle data integrity.
  • Coordinate structured closeout processes, including as-built drawings, warranties, and operational handover documentation.
  • Maintain capital dashboards and structured reporting tools.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Associate degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Business, Public Administration, or related field; or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience supporting capital construction projects.
  • Minimum of three (3) years of experience supporting construction or capital projects, including coordination with contractors and design professionals, submittal and RFI tracking, budget and change documentation, and construction-phase documentation.
  • Minimum of three (3) years of demonstrated proficiency with structured data systems (e.g., advanced Excel or comparable tools) for tracking budgets and reporting.
  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.

  • Must satisfactorily complete EOU criminal and credential background check. Having a criminal history is not an automatic bar to employment.
  • In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire. Eastern Oregon University does not sponsor applicants for employment visas.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering Technology, Business, or related field.
  • Exposure to publicly funded or bond-financed construction projects.
  • Experience supporting capital projects in higher education or similarly structure, stakeholder-heavy, process-driven environments.
  • Familiarity with CPM-based construction schedules and ability to interpret critical path impacts.
  • Experience using collaborative project tracking platforms (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, Asana, or similar tools).
  • Project management or construction-related training or certifications (e.g., PMP, DBIA, CM-Lean).
