Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Workforce & Operational Excellence
Strategic Plan Category: 3001 - Support a well-trained workforce
DISCUSSION:
Human Resources consulted with Municipal Resources Group (MRG), a human resource consulting agency, to determine an appropriate salary range for the Construction Projects Manager classification based on the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the position as well as its scope of authority. Also taken into consideration were salary differentials and internal alignment within our current classification and compensation structure.
After careful consideration of the data, and to ensure that the County of Humboldt is offering appropriate pay and investing in County employees, the HR Department recommends implementing an increase to the salary range for Construction Projects Manager to reflect the same salary range as other Project Manager classifications within the county.
Additionally, HR recommends adopting the new job classification of Construction Project Coordinator I/II. This classification will primarily be engaged on smaller, less complex capital projects. Currently, construction Project Managers are responsible for this work in addition to large projects, creating inefficiency and impeding progress on important major projects. The new Construction Project Coordinator I/II will also assist construction Project Managers in the management of larger projects, improving staff efficiency and helping to build strong project management team structures within the county.
