Building upon a decade of expansion in the United States and beyond, Northeastern University merged with Mills College in July 2022 to have a broader impact across its global campus network. Northeastern University’s Planning, Real Estate and Facilities (PREF) Division now seeks a creative, flexible, and collaborative leader to serve as the Senior Capital Projects Manager in Oakland, CA. This is an exciting opportunity to provide leadership in the planning and construction of various types of projects at a dynamic, top-tier, urban research university with the ambition and resources to grow.

The new Senior Capital Projects Manager will join the University as it continues a more-than-decade-long trajectory of unprecedented growth in student enrollment, faculty, staff, and physical space, along with tremendous advances in academic and research rankings.

Reporting to the Associate Vice President for Planning, Real Estate, and Facilities on the Oakland Campus, the Senior Capital Projects Manager will be a self-starter who can help execute the vision for the Oakland Campus.
