About the Role

We are seeking Change Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs. You will support the change control process, develop independent analysis for entitlement, cost, and time, and maintain accurate scope, cost, schedule, and technical baselines. This role ensures program leadership has a defensible position before financial commitments are made.

Responsibilities

  • Support the program’s change control process from early identification through entitlement determination, pricing, negotiation, and executed change order.
  • Track every change notice and open change item in the log to a documented decision within the timeframes the contract allows.
  • Evaluate change proposals, requests for equitable adjustment, and claims for contractual entitlement, and recommend a position supported by the contract language and the factual record.
  • Develop and review independent cost estimates and time impact analyses that test contractor-submitted pricing and delay claims.
  • Coordinate with estimators, schedulers, and analysts supporting change evaluation, applying a consistent approach to change analysis, pricing, and documentation.
  • Prepare change board packages including recommendations, independent analysis, funding source, and consequences of inaction, and present them to program decision-makers.
  • Support negotiation of change order value and time extensions alongside the contracting officer or contract administrator, documenting agreements and releases.
  • Process approved change orders through the contract, confirming their reflection in contract value, baseline schedule, budget, and affected drawings/specifications.
  • Coordinate change evaluation with the program’s engineering, inspection, right of way, and operations groups.
  • Evaluate impacts to active operations and existing facilities before a change is approved.
  • Analyze differing site conditions, design changes, and third-party-driven changes on bridges, underground work, and systems, differentiating contractually covered items from non-covered items.
  • Report change trends, open change exposure, and pending time extensions to executive program leadership to ensure cost and schedule risks are visible.
  • Maintain configuration control of the change record and affected technical documentation, including version control, revision history, and audit trails.
  • Keep entitlement decisions, pricing basis, and correspondence retrievable for internal and external audit, funding review, and dispute resolution.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in construction management, civil engineering, construction engineering, or business administration, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 10+ years of construction change control, change order, or claims experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects.
  • Experience leading the change control process on a construction contract package, including change identification, entitlement determination, pricing, executed change order, and coordination of estimators, schedulers, and analysts.
  • Experience evaluating change proposals, requests for equitable adjustment, or claims for entitlement, cost, and schedule impact, and recommending a position to the owner.
  • Experience developing or reviewing independent cost estimates and time impact analyses that test contractor-submitted pricing and delay claims.
  • Experience preparing change board or governance packages and presenting recommendations to owner decision-makers.
  • Working knowledge of public works contract provisions governing changes, differing site conditions, delays, and notice and claim requirements.
  • Experience with industry standard PMIS, document management, and CPM scheduling software (e.g., MS Project, Unifier, Kahua, e-Builder, Primavera P6, etc.).
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.).
