At OCMI, Inc., our core values—One Team, Curiosity, Meaningful Service, and Integrity—drive everything we do. Founded in 1982 and still privately owned, we've become one of the nation's fastest-growing construction management consultancies. Serving markets across Federal, Education, Hospitality, Healthcare, Technology, and Commercial, we offer comprehensive services including Cost Management, Project Management, Scheduling, and Project Controls. Most importantly, our teams are passionate about supporting each other and making a difference in the communities we serve. 

We are seeking a dynamic, bilingual (English/Spanish) Marketing & Communications Coordinator to spearhead the outreach for Evolve Student Housing, our latest housing development project at San Diego State University. This is an on-site, in-person position in San Diego. This position requires occasional travel to Calexico in Imperial Valley to support outreach initiatives, events and stakeholder engagement.

As the primary voice for Evolve Student Housing, you will be responsible for everything from construction impact communications to on-site event execution. You will work independently to produce the marketing and communication roadmap while collaborating with the Office of Housing Administration and various teams to ensure students and the SDSU community are well informed about the project and its impact to nearby residents and campus stakeholders. In addition, you will lead strategic marketing initiatives designed to generate awareness, nurture prospective residents through the housing journey and convert leads into completed housing applications and room reservations for the residential communities.
