The Project Controls Division of the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) seeks a dynamic and forward-thinking Project Controls Director. Operating with wide latitude for independent judgment under the direction of the Associate Commissioner of Project Controls, the Director is responsible for improving the capital project delivery approach by integrating innovative processes and technology. The primary goal of this role is to maximize schedule and cost performance while positioning DDC as a best-in-class Owner in design and construction innovation. An essential part of this role involves engaging with project delivery stakeholders to understand their processes and pain points in meeting project KPI targets and creating targeted plans to investigate and improve these areas. You will identify key drivers of project performance, uncover correlations between project data and project delivery, and perform analyses to propose recommendations for change assessing their impact on improving KPIs, particularly regarding cost, schedule, and risk. To drive meaningful change within the agency, you will build consensus and buy-in with stakeholders using data, analysis, and visualization techniques. In this position, you will oversee the development of standards for project documents, data, and retention requirements, establish best practices in document and data governance, and lead the development of standards for advanced data analytics, including the selection of AI-based techniques. You will also stand up the Agency's virtual design and construction practice by developing policies and procedures related to BIM and reality capture, which should be further conveyed in vendor contract requirements. Furthermore, you will identify high-ROI areas within capital delivery to target improvement with innovative processes and technology, developing an innovation strategy, roadmap, and an agency-wide framework for testing innovative approaches with clear success KPIs.
