AOT Project Manager I - Municipal Assistance

at State of Vermont in Barre, Vermont, United States

Job Description

The Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) is seeking a Project Manager I to join its Municipal Assistance Section (MAS). This role will work in close partnership with municipalities and local project sponsors to plan, design, and deliver a range of transportation projects, from simple to moderately complex in scope. These projects are focused on improving safety and mobility, increasing system capacity, and preserving critical infrastructure for the traveling public.

The Project Manager I is responsible for guiding projects through all phases of development while ensuring compliance with applicable requirements. Many projects are supported through Federal Aid programs, requiring adherence to federal regulations and standards throughout the project lifecycle.

Duties are largely performed in an office setting; however, some field travel may be necessary. Fieldwork may involve exposure to hazardous materials, traffic hazards and construction sites during all weather conditions; and may involve traversing rough terrain and bodies of water. Some work outside of regular working hours, including attendance at public meetings, may be required. Strong differences of opinion may be encountered on a regular basis and these should be handled in a professional and respectful manner.
