  • Develop both conceptual and detailed project budgets and cost estimates, while proactively providing value engineering solutions to optimize costs without compromising quality.
  • Collaborate with architects, engineers, and consultants to review and refine project plans (from Schematic Design to Construction Documents), ensuring feasibility and compliance with all authorities having jurisdiction.
  • Conduct risk assessments with the Director of Preconstruction, Director of Construction and President of Construction to identify potential challenges before construction begins.
  • Establish project schedules, and coordinate timelines with the project team, and ensure alignment with stakeholder expectations and overall company objectives.
  • Manage the full bidding process, including the evaluation of contractor and supplier proposals, analysis of submittals, and contract negotiation.
  • Maintains clear communication with stakeholders, providing updates and addressing concerns throughout the preconstruction phase.
  • Collaborate with the project team to ensure a seamless transition from preconstruction to the building phase.
  • Stay informed about industry trends, new materials, and construction techniques to enhance project efficiency and quality.
  • Research and assists in maintaining historical cost data from past projects, along with specific procedures and requirements by local jurisdictions and authorities having jurisdiction.

Qualifications & Requirements :

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field (preferred) or relevant experience .
  • 5+ years of experience in construction, with a strong background in preconstruction, estimating, or project management, ideally across multiple product types.
  • Proficiency in construction estimating software, PlanSwift, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong knowledge of building codes, permitting processes, and construction best practices.
  • Excellent negotiation, budgeting, and cost analysis skills.
  • Ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings accurately.
  • Exceptional communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Benefits :

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Health, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance.
  • Simple IRA with company match.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Professional development opportunities.
