About Marin County Transit District
Marin County Transit District (Marin Transit) is responsible for funding, planning, and management of all local public transit services operating within Marin County, including fixed route, community shuttle, supplemental school, and paratransit services. Marin Transit works closely within the community to develop and deliver the most strategic, effective, and efficient local transit system in northern California. For additional information about Marin Transit, please visit www.marintransit.gov .
About Marin County. Located just across the Golden Gate Bridge, and minutes from downtown San Francisco, Marin County is a dynamic, economically, and culturally diverse community of 260,000 informed and involved residents. Marin County is marked by beautiful beaches, groves of redwoods and oaks, rolling foothills, and scenic valleys. Marin County is known for its combination of rural and suburban lifestyles and is a recreation destination for the entire Bay Area with more than 140,000 acres of federal, state and county parkland, county open space and water district lands. The mild year-round climate is highlighted by cool, coastal fog tempering the warm inland temperatures of summer.
The Role
The Director of Capital Programs serves as Marin Transit’s executive-level leader for capital program planning and delivery, responsible for directing the District’s capital program, multi-year capital plan, annual capital budget, and major infrastructure and readiness initiatives.
This position oversees capital project delivery from scoping and planning through design, permitting, construction / implementation, closeout, and operational handoff. Responsibilities include project planning and scheduling, contractor management, budget oversight, procurement support, funding and grant compliance, project controls, Board reporting, and cross-functional coordination.
Under administrative direction of the General Manager, the Director of Capital Programs serves as a key member of the Executive Team, contributing to District-wide strategic planning, organizational development, and executive decision-making.
Ideal Candidate Profile
A seasoned public-sector capital programs leader with experience in transit, transportation, public works, facilities, or another public agency environment with complex, grant-funded capital projects. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise in capital planning, project delivery, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, contract administration, contractor oversight, construction/implementation, compliance, project controls, and Board-level reporting, along with the ability to serve as a trusted advisor to the General Manager, Executive Team, and Board of Directors.
The ideal candidate is more than a high-level capital program strategist. They own the capital function at both a leadership level and a practical operating level. Candidates from larger agencies should be able to demonstrate that they have personally managed, delivered, or deeply understood capital projects, not only overseen them through staff. They must demonstrate meaningful experience managing public-sector capital projects involving funding requirements, grant eligibility, procurement compliance, consultant and contractor coordination, project documentation, and operational handoff. Experience with transit capital programs, zero-emission fleet or facility readiness, public right-of-way coordination, permitting, construction oversight, or fleet/facility improvements would be especially valuable.
The successful candidate will be a practical and collaborative leader who can support and develop assigned staff, partner effectively across Operations, Planning, Finance, Procurement, jurisdictions, contractors, and stakeholder agencies, represent the District in public, interagency, and governance forums, and communicate complex project, budget, schedule, and risk information clearly to a variety of audiences.
Key Responsibilities
Provide executive oversight and direction for capital program planning and reporting, including maintaining a multi-year capital plan, leading development of the annual capital budget, establishing priorities and timelines with capital staff, and ensuring consistent Board reporting on capital program status.
Direct and oversee delivery of the District’s capital projects and readiness initiatives, including project planning and scheduling, consultant/contractor management, budget and cash-flow management, funding/grant compliance, risk and issue escalation, and cross-functional coordination with Operations and Planning (e.g., zero-emission bus operations and maintenance readiness).
Lead and/or oversee capital project delivery from scoping and planning through design, permitting, procurement, construction/implementation, and closeout; ensure appropriate documentation, coordination, and operational handoff as needed.
Participate in capital procurements by providing funding strategy and budget input, grant compliance and eligibility review, and financial impact analysis; coordinate with procurement staff as needed.
Support complex procurement processes by developing technical scopes, requirements, and evaluation criteria within assigned capital projects; serve as technical lead during evaluation and negotiations as delegated.
Select, supervise, train, coach, and evaluate assigned staff; establish priorities, delegate effectively, support professional development, and address performance issues consistent with District practices.
Participate in strategic planning with other members of the Executive Team.
Prepare staff reports, technical summaries, Board agenda items, and presentations to support Board actions and leadership decisions (e.g., project updates, contract awards, budget actions), and to communicate project outcomes to stakeholders.
Represent the District in meetings with boards, commissions, community groups, and stakeholder agencies; communicate capital program priorities, status, and outcomes clearly and professionally.
Coordinate and communicate with the Board of Directors and other elected officials.
Drive a District vehicle to travel between multiple locations in the service area to perform assigned field-based duties (e.g., construction site visits, property management observations, fleet management, and coordination with contractors).
Perform other related duties as assigned.

The Role
The Capital Projects Manager provides day-to-day leadership for Marin Transit’s capital project delivery functions, supporting the District’s capital program, team work plan, portfolio schedule, and major project implementation efforts.
This position manages and coordinates capital projects from scoping, planning through design, permitting, procurement, construction or implementation, closeout, and operational handoff. Responsibilities include project scheduling, consultant and contractor management, contract administration, budget tracking, procurement support, funding and compliance documentation, project controls, issue resolution, and cross-functional coordination.

Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is a practical, delivery-focused capital projects manager with experience in public-sector capital project management, public works, transit, transportation, facilities, construction, or a related infrastructure environment. They will bring strong project management discipline, contract administration experience, budget and schedule awareness, compliance-minded documentation practices, and the ability to coordinate effectively across internal departments, consultants, contractors, local jurisdictions, and partner agencies.
Because Marin Transit is a lean agency, the successful candidate must be comfortable staying close to the work. This role requires someone who can manage multiple capital projects, support the capital team work plan and portfolio schedule, monitor budgets and contracts, resolve issues, escalate risks appropriately, and keep projects moving from planning and scoping through design, permitting, procurement, construction or implementation, closeout, and operational handoff.
The successful candidate will be organized, collaborative, field-aware, and able to provide day-to-day leadership to assigned staff while maintaining strong project controls and clear communication.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on capital projects professional who enjoys turning plans into delivered projects, coordinating across teams and partners, and keeping complex work moving with discipline, clarity, and practical judgment.

Coordinate closely with District departments throughout planning and delivery to confirm project needs, maintain service continuity considerations, and align project outcomes with operational realities.
Coordinate with local jurisdictions and partner agencies on capital improvements in public right-of-way and at District facilities, including plan coordination, required permits and approvals, multi-party meetings, and issue resolution.
Oversee the management of District assets within assigned scope, including oversight of contracted services supporting facilities and property maintenance and readiness, and coordination of improvements and repairs as needed.
