Job description

This is a strategic hire for a growing commercial general contractor that is positioning itself for its next stage of growth.

A growing General Contractor is ready to hire an experienced Preconstruction Manager who wants the opportunity to work closely with involved ownership, have a voice in how projects come together, and grow into a larger leadership role as the company continues to expand.

The company is in a strong financial position with a healthy pipeline and a diverse portfolio of commercial projects. They specialize in design-build and ground-up construction and have created an environment that embraces technology, strong processes, and new ideas.

What You'll Be Doing

You will take an active role in preconstruction from the earliest stages of a project through turnover to operations, including:

• Leading conceptual and detailed estimating


• Developing budgets throughout design


• Managing subcontractor solicitation, scope review, and bid leveling


• Working closely with owners, architects, engineers, and trade partners


• Providing constructability reviews and identifying value-engineering opportunities


• Supporting design-build projects from early concept through construction


• Developing project schedules, logistics, and procurement strategies


• Partnering closely with operations to ensure a strong handoff


• Helping develop and improve preconstruction processes as the company grows

Are you someone with commercial general contractor experience who understands how to build a project before it ever reaches the field?

Do you have experience with ground-up commercial construction and are comfortable managing multiple projects through different stages of preconstruction?

Design-build experience is highly valued.

Why Take a Look?

This is an established, financially strong contractor entering an exciting stage of growth. Ownership is actively involved in the business, the project pipeline is strong, and the company is making intentional investments in the people, technology, and processes needed to support its future.

The diverse commercial portfolio and design-build focus provide the opportunity to be involved early, influence how projects are pursued and planned, and work closely with both clients and operations.

This is also a highly visible position within the organization. The person who steps into this role will have the opportunity to contribute beyond individual projects, help strengthen the preconstruction function, and take on greater leadership responsibility as the company continues to grow.

If you're ready to be part of building what comes next raher than simply stepping into an established position, this is for you!
