ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER

Job Title: Assistant Project Manager

Department:  Manhattanville Development

  For the past several years, Columbia University has been planning for a campus in the Manhattanville section of West Harlem, incorporating input provided through over a hundred meetings with community members, students, faculty and civic groups. This new campus, if approved, would resolve the University's need for additional space while providing active ground floor retail opportunities, open space, and enhanced access to the waterfront. The proposed area of development comprises approximately 17 acres and extends roughly from the south side of West 125th Street to 133rd Street and from Broadway to Twelfth Avenue. Also included are properties on the east side of Broadway from West 131st Street to 134th Street between Broadway and Old Broadway. As Columbia proceeds with formal New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), the University is building its Manhattanville team and seeking Assistant Project Managers to oversee the construction process on one or more projects in Manhattanville.
