Descrizione del lavoro

LightSpeed Build Technologies in Northbrook, IL is seeking a Preconstruction & Procurement Specialist to convert design takeoffs into bid packages, manage bids with subcontractors, and buy out projects after approval. On-site role with travel to job sites as needed.

The role centers on building and managing a subcontractor/supplier network, owning the final numbers, and turning project learnings into repeatable pricing and purchasing processes, blending construction with robotics.

Competenze

• 5+ years in residential construction estimating, preconstruction, purchasing or bid management, working with real project costs: materials, labor and regional variation.
• Experience running bid packages and working with subcontractors and suppliers.
• Comfort reading plan sets and working from takeoffs; you can spot a scope gap before it becomes a change order.
• Strong Excel skills and experience with estimating or takeoff tools (for example Bluebeam, RSMeans, Procore).
• Clear communicator who can explain a number to a customer and stand behind it.
• Able to work on-site in Northbrook, IL and travel to job sites as needed.

Mansioni

• Build complete bid packages from plan sets, Revit takeoffs and initial estimates, with clear scope, assumptions and exclusions by trade.
• Apply our robotic-construction cost model to show what a home costs to build our way versus traditionally, including the on-site work that remains.
• Turn bids into customer-ready proposals, and join pricing reviews with prospects and partners as the construction cost expert.
• Track estimate versus actual on every job and feed what you learn back into our cost data.
• Build and maintain our network of subcontractors and suppliers: foundations, MEP, roofing, finishes and site work.
• Solicit, level and compare bids, and recommend awards based on price, scope and reliability.
• Negotiate pricing and terms, and prepare subcontract and purchase agreements for approval.
• Buy out approved projects: lock in material pricing and lead times, and issue purchase orders.
• Coordinate delivery timing with our Production & Delivery Manager so materials arrive when the factory and job site need them.
• Manage change orders and their cost impact with customers and subcontractors.
