Job description

$130,000 to $170,000 base, plus a full benefits package

National general contractor delivering industrial, commercial, healthcare, education, retail, and government projects across the country.

We are representing a national general contractor with four decades in the business, known for strong client relationships and a design-build track record across industrial, commercial, healthcare, education, retail, and government work. They're looking to add a Preconstruction Manager to their Dallas team.

The Role:

This person will own the preconstruction phase from concept through permit documents: building accurate, competitive estimates, identifying value-engineered alternatives, and leading bid strategy so every proposal that goes out the door has a real shot at award. They'll also support business development, helping build and maintain relationships with clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.

Responsibilities include:

• Prepare thorough, competitive cost estimates through all phases of design, from concept to construction documents
• Identify value-engineered alternatives across construction methods, materials, schedule, and design
• Run bid and precon meetings to define scope of work and proposal specifications
• Prepare bid packages and lead bid solicitation and RFP coordination
• Perform takeoffs across multiple trades and analyze subcontractor proposals for cost, scope, and completeness
• Negotiate pricing with clients and qualified subcontractors
• Build preliminary schedules and hand off the estimate cleanly to the Project Manager
• Maintain and grow the subcontractor and design consultant database
• Develop relationships with clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors, and support pursuit of new work

What We're Looking For:

• Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years estimating conceptual and hard bid construction projects for a general contractor
• Design-build experience on relevant project types
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
• OSHA 10-hour and First Aid/CPR certifications
• Comfort working across multiple delivery methods (Design-Build, CM at Risk, CM not at Risk, hard bid)
• Familiarity with lump sum, GMP, and cost-plus contract structures
• Proficiency with estimating and takeoff software (On-Screen Takeoff, Bluebeam, DESTINI Estimator)
• Strong existing relationships across the local subcontractor and design community

What's in It for You:

• A senior seat with real ownership over the preconstruction process, not just estimating support
• Exposure to a diverse project mix across sectors, so no two years look the same
• A well established, financially stable GC with 40+ years in business and a reputation for strong client relationships
• Competitive base salary plus a genuinely strong benefits package (medical, dental, vision, HSA, 401(k) match, tuition reimbursement, and more)
• A clear path to grow with the company as it continues to expand
