deschutes-county-3

Deschutes County is accepting applications from community members who are interested in serving on the County’s Facility Project Review Committee. There are currently two unpaid, volunteer positions open.

The Facility Project Review Committee makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, at the Board’s request, about pending and future building and facility projects at the county. The projects are generally considered high profile, critical and challenging.

We are looking for applicants who have a wide variety of backgrounds, including those who have experience in commercial and public sector general contracting, architecture, real estate, commercial building cost estimating, developer, and public sector project management.

Committee members provide recommendations in the following areas: development options and alternative solutions, conceptual proposals, project scope, cost estimates and cost, contracting methodology, and value engineering. Members may also be asked to provide feedback and recommendations on whether to build, remodel, buy or lease a facility.

The Facility Review Committee meets quarterly, or on an as needed basis. Meetings are hybrid and include options for virtual and in-person participation. Committee members may be asked to serve on subcommittees for specific projects.

To apply, please visit www.deschutes.org/jobs. Application review will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 4, but the positions will be posted until filled.
