About the Opportunity

Our client, a respected and growing construction firm, is seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead and coordinate the early phases of complex projects. This role is pivotal in setting each project up for success-balancing cost accuracy, schedule efficiency, and client satisfaction before construction begins.

The Preconstruction Manager will oversee estimating, scheduling, design coordination, and client communication, ensuring each pursuit and project aligns with company standards and client expectations. This position requires a blend of technical skill, strategic thinking, and strong relationship management across owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.

  • Lead estimating efforts, including quantity take-offs, subcontractor pricing, and cost analysis.
  • Develop conceptual budgets, detailed estimates, and value engineering alternatives.
  • Prepare and maintain preconstruction schedules that align with client goals and milestones.
  • Review project plans, specifications, and documents to identify scope, risks, and opportunities.
  • Collaborate closely with clients, architects, engineers, and consultants to resolve design challenges.
  • Coordinate and manage subcontractor outreach and bid processes to ensure comprehensive coverage.
  • Develop and review project pursuit strategies, bid packages, and proposals.
  • Prepare and deliver client presentations on budgets, schedules, and project approaches.
  • Ensure all preconstruction documentation, reports, and deliverables are accurate and timely.
  • Partner with project management to ensure a smooth transition from preconstruction to construction.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of market trends, material pricing, and labor conditions.
  • Model exceptional client service and relationship management throughout all phases of engagement.

Key Skills and Expertise

  • Deep understanding of construction means and methods, estimating practices, and cost drivers.
  • Proven ability to develop strong client and subcontractor relationships.
  • Strong leadership, teamwork, and communication skills with the ability to facilitate collaboration across teams.
  • Skilled in negotiation, value engineering, and risk management.
  • Ability to prioritize workloads, meet deadlines, and maintain high attention to detail.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, project scheduling tools, and relevant preconstruction software.
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills under time-sensitive conditions.
  • Professional demeanor with a focus on client satisfaction and company representation.
  • Qualifications

  • Minimum of ten years of experience in preconstruction, estimating, or project management with a general contractor.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil or Architectural Engineering, Estimating, or a related field.
  • Valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record.
  • Additional Information

    This is a full-time, on-site position that typically requires standard business hours Monday through Friday. However, this role can potentially offer a work from home schedule on Mondays and Fridays. The role involves regular collaboration with project teams, clients, and partners in both office and field settings.
