    00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:01.510
>> My name is Mike Kelly.

    00:00:01.510 --> 00:00:06.430
I am the assistant manager of design
and construction services here at CSULB.

    00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:13.380
Although that's my title, you probably could
more accurately call me a project manager

    00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:15.970
or a senior project manager, career-wise.

    00:00:15.970 --> 00:00:21.670
My job entails meeting with customers across
the campus when they put in their requests

    00:00:21.670 --> 00:00:26.560
for modifications to their
facility or surroundings.

    00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:30.720
So I meet with them, determine
exactly what it is they want to do.

    00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.320
Is this a carpet replacement job?

    00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.290
Is it a remodel?

    00:00:33.290 --> 00:00:34.270
Do you want to build a building?

    00:00:34.270 --> 00:00:35.410
That sort of thing.

    00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:37.080
Sort out all the details.

    00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:38.750
And then get it done for them.

    00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:42.450
So I'm, I'm the constant for
them throughout the project.

    00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:46.440
They're going to deal with several
people, consultants, engineers, and such,

    00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:49.990
but I'm the one that they come to throughout.

    00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:53.880
You have to be able to handle
major construction, as I say,

    00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.950
constructing a new building
or something as simple

    00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.260
as painting this wall or replacing the carpet.

    00:00:58.260 --> 00:00:59.200
It's the full gamut.

    00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.320
And they really, every single one
of them, require the same steps.

    00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.520
You've got to find out the
requirements, the budget, scheduling --

    00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:11.280
-- and get it done.

    00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.860
A project manager here, and anywhere I think,
is always dealing with multiple projects.

    00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:21.340
This, no one has the luxury of just having one
project and that's your baby for six months.

    00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:27.220
Here, a typical project manager, or myself,
we're, we're running 10, 12 projects at a time.

    00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:31.830
And it could be a couple carpet projects, and
it could be a major renovation to a building.
