The Department of Transportation is seeking a resource to assist with a unique project.
ODOT is working with the University of Akron to design and develop an automated web-based process that allows aggregate and asphalt contractors to submit their Job Mix Formula (JMF) and QC data online, permits ODOT personnel to quickly and easily review this information, and provides feedback to the contractors in a timely and efficient manner. The developed process will be compatible with ODOT’s system for construction management. The development will be happening by another vendor contracted with the University of Akron as part of a research project.
We are looking for someone with strong leadership skills, able to work with vendors ,be organized, detail oriented and can follow up/through. This resource will not be managing the development of the project , they will be managing the vendor. This resource will be an "extension" of DOT acting as the PMO to make sure the project is being developed as agreed upon by DOT and the University of Akron.
The Program Manager directs, controls, administers, and regulates an enhancement or development program. The Program Manager is the individual ultimately responsible to the agency. The Program Manager’s primary responsibility is to drive the entire effort from start to finish. The Program Manager must ensure that the program is completed on schedule and that the final product meets the business, technical, and established quality requirements. The difference between a PM1, PM2, PM3, and PM4 will depend on the size of the project, and the breadth and scope of the project.
