The Buildings Department, within TriMet’s Engineering and Construction Division, manages the design and construction of projects associated with the TriMet’s growing operations including, but not limited to, bus, rail and administrative facilities. The Building Department not only steer the design and construction but they also collaborate with stakeholders and users across the entire agency.
As the agency grows and ages, the demand for repair and modifications to existing facilities is also prevalent in the Building department’s portfolio. Projects in this department can vary in nature, size and in funding sources which may be through grants (state, federal), general fund or a combination of both. Partnering with stakeholders, predominantly inside the agency, Project Managers in this department advise on project development and manage all aspects of the project delivery phase including programming, design procurement, the design process, budgets, schedule, permitting, construction procurement, construction management, commissioning and facilitate project turnover from the contractor to the agency.
The Building Department consists of a group of skilled design and construction professionals seeking to serve the public and uphold TriMet values while promoting the career growth and work-life balance of its team members.
