Job description

Director of Preconstruction | Seattle, WA | Healthcare and Technology

Director of Preconstruction role in Seattle leading estimating, budgeting, and pursuit strategy for healthcare, technology campus, and mission critical projects with an established builder.

Our client is an established Pacific Northwest general contractor with a strong reputation in healthcare and technology construction. Preconstruction is central to the firm's strategy, and this role leads estimating, budgeting, and client‑facing pursuits across the business. This is a senior leadership position reporting to executive operations.

You will lead preconstruction for healthcare, technology campus, and mission critical data center projects across the Puget Sound region, overseeing estimating, budgeting, bid strategy, early design collaboration, subcontractor engagement, and the development of a high‑performing preconstruction team on negotiated and design‑build projects valued in the hundreds of millions.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 12+ years of precon and estimating leadership experience.
• Experience with negotiated and design‑build pursuits.
• Proficiency with estimating software and cost modeling.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
• Executive presence with owners and design partners.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary range of $185,000 to $235,000, plus annual bonus, long‑term incentive, full benefits, and a 401(k) with match. Total compensation reflects a senior leadership role.

Seattle remains highly competitive, with strong planning activity in data centers, healthcare, energy, and infrastructure. Trade partner capacity and aggressive bidding place a premium on disciplined preconstruction and early cost certainty.

The director is positioned to influence company strategy and advance toward Vice President of Preconstruction or operations leadership. A steady pipeline of negotiated work provides long‑term stability.

Apply in confidence through Vitality Group. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
