Preconstruction Manager

At Vertical Mechanical Group (VMG), we are always seeking talented individuals to join our growing team. Our commitment to exceptional customer service and innovative solutions drives our success and fuels continuous expansion. We're excited to offer opportunities for motivated professionals who are ready to elevate their careers. When you join VMG, you become part of a close-knit, supportive team that values both its employees and clients. Here, your growth powers our success.

Position Summary

VMG is looking for a Preconstruction Manager who is ready to lead the estimating process, driving competitive bids, and rolling directly into project execution. This role is not just about handing off the work; it's about owning it from day one through delivery. You'll partner with our operations team to ensure projects are set up for success, while keeping your hands on the details that matter.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment and has strong mechanical construction knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the preconstruction process from conceptual budgets to final GMP.
  • Prepare, review, and deliver accurate and competitive estimates and bids.
  • Partner with operations to transition projects seamlessly from preconstruction into construction.
  • Actively engage with subcontractors, suppliers, and clients to develop strong relationships and competitive pricing strategies.
  • Manage design-build and design-assist pursuits, working closely with engineers and consultants.
  • Track and analyze project costs to ensure accurate forecasting and lessons learned for future bids.
  • Stay actively involved during construction - maintaining visibility and accountability for scope, budget, and execution.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical construction, with at least 3 years in preconstruction or estimating.
  • Strong knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, and piping systems.
  • Proven track record of bidding and securing work in the commercial construction market.
  • Comfortable balancing detailed takeoffs with big-picture strategy.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with project managers, field teams, and executives.
  • Proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, and 401(k).
  • Opportunities for career growth in a fast-expanding organization.
  • A team-oriented environment where your input matters and your work makes an impact.
