• San Diego Unified School District Staff Augmentation | MAAS Companies The Work San Diego Unified School District is building and modernizing the campus facilities that will serve students for generations.

As Project Coordinator, you'll lead that work end to end — from pre-planning and design through bidding, construction, and closeout. You'll manage budgets, schedules, consultants, and contractors; negotiate change orders; enforce contract compliance; and represent San Diego Unified School District across stakeholder groups including architects, engineers, community organizations, and state agencies. This isn't a siloed role. You'll be the central accountability point on complex, bond-funded projects — solving problems before they become crises and keeping ambitious timelines on track. What You'll Own Full lifecycle management of school modernization and new construction projects within scope, schedule, and budget Consultant and contractor coordination, including contract amendments and change order review Design and construction quality control, commissioning, and project closeout Regular status reporting and stakeholder meetings with administrators, community groups, and agency partners Recovery strategies when scope, schedule, or budget drift Requirements What You Bring You're running full lifecycle projects — from early planning through design, bidding, construction, and closeout — and you actually understand what happens at each phase, not just how to track it. You're the single point of accountability. Budgets, schedules, consultants, contractors — it all runs through you, and when something slips, you're the one expected to fix it. You've managed architects, engineers, and contractors at the same time and know how to keep all of them aligned, productive, and accountable without losing control of the project. You've negotiated change orders and contract amendments in real time, balancing contractor pressure with the owner's interests and documenting everything so it holds up later. You don't let quality slip. You've actively enforced standards during design and construction, pushed back when needed, and ensured systems actually work at commissioning and turnover. You're comfortable being the face of the project. You've run meetings, delivered updates, and handled questions from administrators, community stakeholders, and agencies without losing clarity or control. When projects drift, you don't just report it — you step in, diagnose what's wrong, and build a recovery plan that gets executed. You've worked on publicly funded or highly scrutinized projects where compliance, transparency, and stakeholder alignment aren't optional. You understand California public construction — codes, bidding requirements, and how to operate within that framework without slowing the project down. You've led projects with multiple stakeholders who all have opinions and influence, and you know how to keep things moving without getting stuck in politics. Required Qualifications Degree in architecture, building engineering, or a related field 8+ years of progressively responsible experience in architecture or engineering, with a construction emphasis Deep knowledge of California public building codes and public bidding requirements Proficiency in

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.
