Job description

Overview

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to how we win and execute work. As Buildskape's Pre-Construction Project Manager, you'll lead bid activities including scoping, risk analysis, subcontractor solicitation, and pre-award planning to help our construction teams execute with clarity and confidence. You will provide company leadership with fully vetted information to support accurate, strategic bids—minimizing surprises, improving visibility, and strengthening Buildskape's ability to deliver exceptional results.

What You'll Do

  • Develop scopes of work per CSI Master Format divisions, reviewing drawings and specs to ensure complete bid coverage.
  • Perform risk analysis during bidding—identify scope gaps, constructability issues, and long-lead materials.
  • Attend pre-bid walks and document existing conditions (especially MEPF systems) to support accurate pricing.
  • Manage bid documentation, assist subcontractors with pre-bid RFIs, and ensure that all subcontractor bidders are updated on changes to bid documents, information, and timelines.
  • Prepare and submit final bid packages that are accurate, compliant, and complete.
  • Solicit, clarify, and level subcontractor bids; identify gaps and make recommendations.
  • Ensure compliance with public contracting rules, including prevailing wage (BOLI, Davis-Bacon), bid security, workforce equity, and training requirements.
  • Verify subcontractor standing with the Oregon CCB and Washington contractor registry.
  • Lead internal scope reviews before bid deadlines to confirm full coverage.
  • Post-award : consolidate scopes, subcontractor data, submittal logs, and early reviews; analyze risk and schedule by trade to ensure the production team starts with clarity and minimal risk.

What Success Looks Like

  • Bids that are complete, competitive, and low-risk
  • Early identification of risk that prevents downstream surprises
  • Smooth handoff to the field with organized, actionable information
  • Strong trade partner relationships built on clarity and trust
  • Qualifications

    Must-Have

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in commercial construction—pre-construction, estimating, or project management
  • Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contracts
  • Proven skill in identifying and managing risk during bidding
  • Knowledge of public contracting in Oregon and Washington (BOLI, Davis-Bacon, workforce compliance)
  • Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines
  • Ability to give leadership actionable information for key decisions, and the confidence to engage in constructive dialogue to improve results
  • Excellent communication and coordination skills
  • Preferred

  • Experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, BuildingConnected, Smartsheet, and Microsoft 365
  • Familiarity with Design-Bid-Build and CM / GC delivery methods
  • Background in conceptual estimating, value engineering, and schedule planning
  • What We Offer

    We believe in taking care of our team so they can take care of our clients. Here's what you can expect :

  • Competitive Pay : $95K–$120K DOE
  • Full Health Coverage : 100% employer-paid medical and dental for you and your family
  • Retirement Benefits : 401(k) with 3% guaranteed match + profit sharing
  • If you excel at turning complex project documents into clear, executable scopes—and want to shape how Buildskape wins and delivers projects—apply today.
