Construction Administration Lead (Architecture)

Public Sector Education Projects | TETER

Are you a seasoned architectural professional with deep expertise in the construction phase of public sector projects? TETER is seeking a Construction Administration Lead (also known at TETER as a Senior Construction Administrator) to oversee the bidding, construction, and closeout phases of K–12 and higher education projects across California.

Note : This is a senior-level architectural role-not an administrative support position. You'll be the technical lead during construction, ensuring design intent is upheld and projects are delivered with excellence.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as the primary point of contact during construction, coordinating between owners, contractors, architects, and consultants.
  • Lead the construction administration phase, resolving RFIs, interpreting plans / specs, and ensuring contractor compliance.
  • Oversee bidding documentation, assist with bid analysis, and support contract award processes.
  • Conduct site visits, perform punch list inspections, and manage closeout documentation.
  • Collaborate with project managers to monitor budgets and timelines.
  • Mentor junior staff and share lessons learned to improve future project delivery.

What You Bring

  • 15+ years of experience managing the CA phase as the owner's representative in public / education sector projects.
  • Strong understanding of constructability and ability to resolve field conflicts independently.
  • Experience with California's Division of the State Architect (DSA) is highly preferred.
  • Registered Architect (preferred) or equivalent experience.
  • Certifications such as CDT , CCCA , or LEED are a plus.
  • Proficiency in interpreting construction documents and using PDF tools for RFIs, submittals, and change orders.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD / Revit and digital construction workflows.

    • Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary Range : $104,200–$125,100 annually (based on license, experience, location, and qualifications)
  • Hybrid Schedule available after 6-month trial period
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) + 401(k)
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off + Wellness Program
  • Professional Licensing Support
  • And more!

    • Ready to Lead?

    Join a firm that values your expertise, supports your growth, and empowers you to make a lasting impact on California's educational infrastructure.
