About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Specialist, Renovations & Capital Projects to join our Renovations & Facilities team. This role delivers Success Academy's New York City renovation and capital program, roughly 25 to 60 projects a year across 59 schools, combining a recurring lifecycle program with school opening, expansion, and flip capital. This role owns project delivery, not site management. Success depends on standardized scopes, term contracts, a repeatable bid-and-award process, disciplined change control, and a closeout that actually happens.

Responsibilities

• Own the annual project list from scope development through construction, punch list, closeout, and turnover to operations.
• Build and hold the summer calendar, including sequencing, access windows, long-lead items, and critical dates.
• Develop standardized scopes and specifications for recurring work types.
• Run competitive procurement, bid leveling, exclusion review, and award recommendations within approved policy.
• Review drawings, specifications, scopes, estimates, and change requests for technical completeness, constructability, operational impact, and alignment with approved standards.
• Coordinate architects, engineers, contractors, school leaders, agency partners, and internal teams to ensure timely decisions and work sequencing.
• Require documented scope, pricing, technical justification, and schedule impact before any change-order commitment.
• Track cost, schedule, quality, risk, and dependencies across the program, maintaining credible baselines and reporting.
• Inspect work in progress and verify completed work is safe, functional, documented, and ready for school use before final acceptance.
• Confirm each completed project hands over with as-built information, warranties, and operations and maintenance material.
• Hold contractors to contract requirements, schedule commitments, workmanship, and timely resolution of defects.
• Maintain a qualified contractor bench with performance tracked across projects.

Requirements

• Demonstrated delivery of a high-count construction or renovation program.
• Experience delivering work in occupied buildings within fixed access windows.
• Ability to read and challenge drawings, specifications, estimates, schedules, bids, and change orders.
• Command of project budgets, forecasting, procurement, bid leveling, change control, closeout, and warranty administration.
• Practical knowledge of core building systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, controls, fire and life safety, accessibility, and envelope.
• Experience standardizing scopes or specifications.
• Strong field judgment and willingness to inspect conditions directly.
• Disciplined documentation.
• Clear communication with school leaders, contractors, and internal partners.
• Credibility to hold a contractor to a commitment.
• Experience with term contracts, job-order contracting, or similar mechanisms is preferred.
