Descripción del empleo

We are currently partnered with one of Cleveland's most established and respected commercial general contractors in its search for a Preconstruction Manager to join its growing team.

With over 80 years in business, this award-winning contractor has built an exceptional reputation for its people-first culture, long-standing client relationships, and commitment to developing employees from within.

This is a rare opening within a department that rarely hires externally, largely due to its strong employee retention and internal advancement opportunities.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 2026 Top Workplace: Recognized for its exceptional culture, leadership, employee development, work-life flexibility, and compensation and benefits.
• Exceptional Employee Retention: A close-knit, family-oriented environment where employees build long-term careers rather than look for their next opportunity.
• Rare Leadership Opportunity: Join an established preconstruction department with direct exposure to senior leadership and the ability to influence projects from their earliest stages.
• Relationship-Driven Business: Unlike traditional hard-bid contractors, this company wins work through its reputation, qualifications, and long-standing developer relationships.
• Continued Growth: An expanding portfolio of repeat-client projects across Cleveland and additional regional markets.
• Career Development: A company known for promoting from within, investing in its people, and providing opportunities to take on greater responsibility.
• Work-Life Balance: A collaborative, supportive culture that values its employees both professionally and personally.

What You'll Be Working On

• Commercial & Mixed-Use Developments
• Multifamily & Affordable Housing
• Healthcare & Senior Living
• Hospitality & Renovations
• Education & Institutional Facilities
• Historic Renovations & Adaptive Reuse

The Opportunity

This position offers considerably more ownership than a traditional estimating role. You'll work directly with developers, clients, and senior leadership, managing multiple projects through the preconstruction process while helping shape budgets, project strategies, and client relationships.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead projects through conceptual estimating, design development, and GMP.
• Manage budgets, estimates, value engineering, and constructability reviews.
• Collaborate directly with owners, architects, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Oversee multiple projects at varying stages of preconstruction.
• Help strengthen client relationships and support the company's continued growth.
