Let's extract content.
First, About the role: combine SPR description and role overview.
SPR description: "SPR provides welcoming and safe opportunities to play, learn, contemplate and build community, and promotes responsible stewardship of the land. We promote healthy people, a healthy environment, and strong communities. Our department deeply values diversity and inclusion and is committed to the advancement of the City of Seattle's Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI). SPR manages a 6,414-acre park system of over 485 parks and extensive natural areas. SPR provides athletic fields, tennis courts, play areas, specialty gardens, and more than 25 miles of boulevards and 120 miles of trails. The system comprises about 12% of the city's land area. SPR also manages many facilities, including 27 community centers, eight indoor swimming pools, two outdoor (summer) swimming pools, four environmental education centers, two small craft centers, four golf courses, an outdoor stadium, and much more."
Then role overview: "The Planning and Capital Development Division is seeking a Construction Manager (CM) to lead a team of people administering diverse and complex infrastructure projects that directly improve our Parks community. Parks typically has 40-60 projects active in construction with costs ranging from $1M – $80M in value to build and improve play areas, playfields/sport courts, pools, community centers, nature areas, trails, accessibility improvements, restrooms and new park developments as well as building improvements including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, structural, and the like. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in overseeing the planning, development, and execution of construction projects within our parks system. The duties of this role primarily include oversight and management of public works contract development and construction through the entire project delivery lifecycle. Duties include management and oversight of multiple work units in the Division including contract preparation and administration, construction work-flow management utilizing the Procore platform, and inspections. Management and oversight of multiple department-wide work units including survey, environmental services, records management and related. We are looking for someone with a strong background in construction management, a passion for public service, and a drive to make a positive impact on our city. If you are a motivated and skilled individual with a love for parks and recreation, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity."
