The Work
LAUSD's facilities program is one of the largest in the country, delivered under DSA oversight. As a Senior Project Manager II, you sit above the project level, providing construction oversight to Owner's Authorized Representatives and steering the District's largest and most complex programs.

You develop and monitor OAR performance, review progress against schedules, and provide functional direction over cost control, dispute resolution, contract administration, and quality control.
You work across District branches and departments, support bid and contract planning with Regional Directors, perform fiscal management across multiple projects, and help shape the internal policies and procedures the program runs on.

Why MAAS
MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50+ educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential. You are not chasing the next contract.
As a MAAS employee, you are also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP, a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.
In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it is a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other.
