Construction Project Manager - Owner's Representative (OAR II)

MAAS Companies

Los Angeles, CA

Full-time

Re-posted 27 days ago

Job description

Owner's Authorized Representative (OAR II)

Los Angeles Unified School District | MAAS Companies

The Work
LAUSD is the second-largest district in the country, and their construction program is massive. When a new wing is being built or a historic campus is being modernized, the District needs someone on-site who acts as the owner. That's the OAR. You aren't there to just watch; you are there to lead.

As an OAR, you manage the entire lifecycle of a project-from the first pre-con meeting and the bid award through construction and final DSA closeout. You are the central point of contact between the contractor, the architects, and the school's staff. It's your job to make sure the contractor stays on schedule, the budget reflects reality, and the final building meets the District's quality standards. You'll spend your days negotiating change orders, solving field issues before they stall the job, and ensuring that construction doesn't interfere with the primary mission: teaching students.

What You'll Own

  • Full oversight of assigned projects from pre-construction through project financial closeout and DSA certification.
  • Daily management of the contractor's activities, including schedule reviews, submittals, and responding to RFCs.
  • The project budget and schedule-you'll monitor these monthly to ensure they accurately reflect the actual progress on the ground.
  • Negotiation of Contractor Change Order Proposals to ensure the District gets a fair price and that schedule impacts are minimized.
  • Coordination with public agencies and District departments to comply with off-site work requirements and internal policies.
  • Leading the delivery of fixtures, furniture, and equipment (FF&E) to ensure the school is ready for students on day one.

Requirements

What You Bring

  • 15 years of full-time professional construction experience, with at least 5 years of full responsibility for complex projects valued at $20M or more.
  • A degree in Architecture, Engineering, or CM (OR 20+ years of experience and a CCM credential).
  • Deep experience with the Division of the State Architect (DSA) processes and public works requirements.
  • The ability to negotiate with contractors from a position of knowledge-you know what the work should cost and how long it should take.
  • Safety-first mindset with an OSHA 30 certification.

Benefits

Why MAAS

MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50+ educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential - you're not chasing the next contract.

As a MAAS employee, you're also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP - a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.

In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it's a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other. That's not a perk. It's how the company runs.

Compensation & Ownership

  • Competitive base salary
  • 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP) - provided at no cost to the employee
