This position is anticipated to play a key role in delivering the City’s upcoming Fire Station Capital Improvement Program. In November 2024, Westminster voters approved Ballot Initiative 3H, authorizing a dedicated funding source to advance critical community investments. A significant component of this program is the delivery of new and replacement fire stations across the City. As a result, this position is expected to support the planning, design, and construction of major fire station capital projects, including both ground‑up facilities and demolition and replacement of existing stations.

These projects will involve close coordination with Fire Department leadership, design and construction teams, City stakeholders, and the public, and will require strong skills in managing complex schedules, budgets, procurement processes, and construction activities from early design through project closeout. While the Fire Station Capital Improvement Program is a primary focus, this position will also support a broader portfolio of City facility capital improvement projects as needed.

The Senior Construction Projects Manager performs advanced and complex professional work related to the oversight of facility‑related capital improvement projects from preliminary design through project close out. The position is responsible for the management of a wide variety of facility projects, from large equipment replacements to ground‑up construction. Project management duties include design phase management, construction phase management, project budgeting, procurement, scheduling, quality assurance, commissioning, and coordination of occupancy.

The position will manage multiple projects at once, ranging in size from $250,000 to $40,000,000+, with a typical median project value of $5,000,000. In order to be considered for this position, all candidates must attach a cover letter and resume (maximum of two pages for each document) to the online application at the time of submittal. The full salary range for this position is stated above.

The starting range of pay is dependent on qualifications and experience of each individual candidate. The City of Westminster has a Multilingual Stipend Program to encourage and reward benefited employees who are conversationally fluent in languages other than English. Benefited employees have the opportunity to test their language proficiency skills and qualify for a bi‑weekly stipend that will vary based on the employee’s level of proficiency and usage.
