Government Property Manager Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Project/Program Manager to lead coordination, tracking, and execution across a portfolio of projects and programs associated with the Point of the Mountain master plan including its public (roads, utilities, parking garages, and event venue) and private components (mixed-use residential, retail, and commercial office). The ideal candidate will be a self-starter capable of making an immediate impact, effectively managing vendors, and navigating complex projects, operating as an extension of senior leadership.

This role is not a single-project PM. It is responsible for program-level visibility and execution—ensuring individual project leads are aligned, risks are surfaced early, and key decisions and processes move forward without delay.

You will leverage your strong communication skills and proven ability to drive alignment across internal teams, public agencies, and external partners, while supporting dedicated project leads in delivering their respective scopes.

• Interact and coordinate with Mike Ambre, Executive Director for the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority (POMSLA) a quasi-governmental agency, and the permitting agency, Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM).
• Oversee and maintain Public Infrastructure District (PID)development budgets and schedules.
• Maintain a consolidated program-level view of all projects, including schedules, milestones, dependencies, and critical path items.
• Maintain and administer the POTM Development Agreement documents for all public projects.
• Perform construction management duties on all PID related public projects including soliciting public procurement, managing contracts and overseeing construction from start to finish.
• Establish and manage program-level reporting, dashboards, and cadence (weekly/monthly) to drive accountability.
• Oversee the execution of all project phases, ensuring adherence to established schedules and financial constraints.
• Track project costs against program budget and report any variances.
• Source, negotiate with, and manage relationships with external vendors and contractors.
• Ensure that all vendor deliverables meet quality standards and project requirements.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, stakeholders, and internal teams.
• Lead and motivate project teams, clearly delegating tasks and responsibilities.
• Monitor team performance and provide guidance to ensure project milestones are achieved.
• Lead structured cross-functional meetings focused on decision-making, accountability, and forward progress.
• Facilitate effective collaboration and communication among team members.
• Identify potential project risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Address issues promptly and implement corrective actions as needed.
• Conduct regular inspections and reviews to ensure compliance with project specifications and standards.
• Ensure that all project documentation is accurate and up-to-date.

Desired Competency, Experience, and Skills:

• 7-10 years with a real estate development or general contracting firm. Construction Manager / Program Manager background preferred.
• Proven track record of successfully managing multiple large-scale projects simultaneously from inception to completion.
• Strong organizational and multitasking abilities with a high level of attention to detail.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to navigate complex public and private environments.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex information clearly.
• Effective time management skills, capable of prioritizing tasks and managing multiple projects concurrently.
• Ability to work independently as a self-starter and drive projects forward with minimal supervision.
• Proficiency in project management software and tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Asana, Trello).
• High level of initiative and proactive problem-solving.
• Strong leadership qualities with the ability to motivate and guide teams.
• Ability to prioritize across competing priorities and drive clarity in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

This position is 100% in-office. The role requires working in office during standard business hours. Remote work or telecommuting is not an option for this position.
