Position Overview

The Design Integration Manager (Civil/Geotechnical) collaborates closely with our project development, operations, estimating, and project support teams throughout the pursuit, preconstruction, construction, commissioning, and close-out phases of projects. This person is responsible for leading the design process for all design or specific design disciplines on design-build, engineer-procure-construct, construction manager at-risk, and other alternative delivery projects to ensure that design maximizes value for our clients and adheres to contracted scope, budget, and schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Organize and manage the activities of the project team (owner, designers, estimating, and operations/construction) to conceptualize and develop the design of significant building and infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with the project team to define the scope and sequence of design delivery including composition and timing of early release packages.
• Establish a culture of accountability within the design team. Communicate project expectations with designers, including level of document development and construction budget.
• Establish project-specific information management systems and communication protocols throughout the design phase.
• Drive design schedules by leading or participating in regularly scheduled design team and OAC (owner/architect/contractor) team meetings.
• Manage change management logs throughout the design phase including cost and schedule impact.
• Coordinate review cycles amongst the project team. Manage Alberici’s risk in terms of scope creep, scope gaps, and constructability issues and drive value engineering activities.
• Maintain a detailed RFP compliance matrix to validate that the design meets the owner’s requirements.
• Provide program validation to ensure building systems and owner-provided process equipment have proper structural and/or MEP support.
• Collaborate with the estimating team to establish and periodically review cost trend logs throughout design.
• Lead the designers to adjust designs so that projects remain within the construction budget.
• Assist the estimating and operations teams with screening of relevant trade partners and suppliers and reviewing construction bids.
• Collaborate with the VDC team to establish and execute a project-specific BIM implementation plan.
• Support the operations/construction team during construction and close-out by managing the design team through design changes and issue resolution.
• Assist the Director, Design Integration in the development of design integration tools, templates, and best practices.
• Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for a specific discipline including performance of peer reviews and completion of constructability review.
• Support project development teams during the pre-proposal and project pursuit phases including collaboration on capture strategy and participation in client presentations.
• On design-build (DB) and engineer-procure-construct (EPC) projects, solicit and evaluate proposals from primary and specialty design consultants and participate in negotiation of design contracts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in civil/geotechnical design, including 5 years in either a single-discipline or multi-discipline project management role.
• Previous experience on design-build projects.
• Licensure as a professional engineer (P.E.) preferred.
• Certification as a LEED AP or DBIA certified professional a plus.
