Title: Deputy Executive Director - Capital Assets and Technology
Company: Sound Transit
Location: Seattle, Washington
Job Status: Full-time
Job ID: 109714
How would you like to work for a progressive, well-funded multi-modal transit agency in the beautiful U.S. Northwest? KL2 Connects LLC has been retained to fill three senior positions that have emerged through a reorganization addressing Sound Transit’s rapid expansion.

Named by Kiplinger's as one of the 10 Best Cities for the Next Decade, Seattle is an exciting place to live. The city and surrounding region are home to spectacular natural resources; a diverse and engaged population, and a wealth of cultural, educational, arts, entertainment, sports, and other amenities.

Sound Transit’s commuter rail, light rail, and bus network is rapidly expanding as voters have passed initiatives totaling over $75B. The agency is in the initial stages of implementing the most recent initiative. With $53B approved by voters, its ambitious 25-year-plan will result in new stations opening in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2030, 2031, 2035, 2036, 2039, and 2041. Sound Transit is at an exciting point in its history and is seeking three industry leaders to play key roles in its future.

If your career has prepared you to succeed in a complex, challenging, and professionally rewarding business environment, contact us at your earliest opportunity. The annual salary range for each position is $145k-$225k and includes an excellent benefits package.

Working closely with the rest of Sound Transit’s executive team, the Deputy Executive Director of Capital Assets and Technology will play a key role in defining and executing Seattle’s Comprehensive Regional Transit Vision. Reporting to the Executive Director, Operations, the winning candidate will be responsible for developing regional transit corridors and executing Sound Transit’s capital program (including facilities construction, rolling stock acquisition, and systems development and implementation).

This position requires a bachelor's degree in facilities management, transportation planning, engineering (preferred), public administration, business administration, or a closely related field; eight years of experience managing transit operations and facilities maintenance programs and services; and four years of staff supervisory, budgetary, and management responsibility. Rail and multi-modal systems experience will be highly valued and an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered. This is an excellent opportunity with a progressive agency that offers attractive compensation, benefits, and relocation.

Sound Transit values equal opportunity and diversity at all levels — women and minorities are encouraged to apply. To be considered, go to www.kl2connects.com/openings, select the appropriate listing, and upload a letter of interest, resume, and 4-5 professional references (preferably supervisory).
