The Executive Director will be responsible for managing teams tasked with delivering mega capital projects. The Executive Director will lead the 1) development and definition of the staffing structure and 2) resources needed to support successful delivery of the system expansion program. The role will oversee all aspects of capital delivery, including Planning, Budgeting, Project Development, Preliminary and Final Designs, Engineering, Systems Integration, Commissioning, Construction Management, Contract Administration, Project Controls, and Project Reporting to lead the assigned mega capital project portfolio.   The Executive Director will report directly to the Sound Transit Deputy CEO for Mega Capital Project Delivery and will serve as the lead technical staff liaison to the Sound Transit Board of Directors as well as the System Expansion Committee regarding the status and progress of the assigned system expansion projects.  Sound Transit has an annual capital and operating budget of $3 billion and is in the process of delivering one of the largest transit expansion programs in the country. Voters in the greater Seattle region approved three-system expansion plans defined in the ballot initiatives known as Sound Move (1996), Sound Transit 2 (ST2 in 2008), and Sound Transit 3 (ST3 in 2016). These programs authorize ongoing funding for the design, construction, and operations of a fully integrated network of Light Rail, Commuter Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, and Commuter Express Bus systems which, together, will reshape the landscape of the entire Western-Washington region, enhance economic development, help combat climate change, and improve mobility, livability, smart growth, affordability, and accessibility across the region. The Sound Transit Team includes highly experienced capital program leadership and staff who have successfully delivered the Sound Move program and are moving toward completion of the ST2 program. As the size of the Sound Transit light rail system will more than double over the next two decades, Sound Transit needs to grow its executive leadership capacity to deliver on commitments to voters. New executive leaders will emerge, elevate, and promote a culture of effective and efficient management through far-sighted planning, design, construction, and system integration.  Sound Move (1996-2007) represented the first phase of a long-term vision for high-capacity regional transit. The public vote for this initial phase 1) authorized the creation of Sound Transit, 2) enacted tax collections for funding the expansion, and 3) established the first set of regional transit projects. These projects were a success and included: 26 miles of light rail service between Sea-Tac Airport and the University of Washington, with a northward extension to Northgate dependent upon additional funding. Peak period commuter rail from Lakewood and Everett to Seattle. ST Express bus routes linking the region’s population and employment centers. Capital investments in transit facilities (such as transit centers and park-and-ride lots) plus HOV direct access ramps that improve bus speed and reliability.  Sound Transit 2 (2008-2026) includes substantial additions and betterments to ST Express bus, Sounder commuter rail service, and Link light rail service. These projects are a success and include: 36 added miles of Link light rail service north to Lynnwood, east to Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Redmond's Overlake area, as well as south of Sea-Tac Airport. Extra service on the busiest ST Express bus routes. 4 new daily Sounder round trips on its popular South Line, along with heightened station access and more parking.  Sound Transit 3 (2016-2041 which was realigned to 2046 by the Sound Transit board in 2021), is determined to connect the region's cities and to expand its light rail spine. This program is intended to expand the mass transit network and connect 16 cities with light rail; 30 cities with Bus Rapid Transit and ST Express bus service; and 12 cities with commuter rail. These projects include: 62 added miles of light rail that will link a 116-mile system with extensions to: Everett via the Paine Field Industrial Center (known as Boeing Field); Tacoma via Federal Way and Fife. downtown Redmond; Ballard via South Lake Union and Seattle Center. West Seattle; and a new light rail line from south Kirkland through Bellevue to Issaquah. 46 miles of Bus Rapid Transit on major highways to the north, east, and south of Lake Washington – with service every 10 minutes during peak hours. Sounder South capacity expansion – with platform extensions to accommodate trains of up to 10 car lengths and serving some 40 percent more passengers, while extending service from Lakewood to DuPont and installing access improvements at stations along the north and south lines. Sound Transit now seeks an Executive Director to lead these initiatives.
