What You'll Do

Reporting to senior executive leadership, you will provide executive oversight of all preconstruction activities across the company's project portfolio. Your day-to-day work will center on ensuring consistent, high-quality deliverables across all pursuits, from smaller industrial projects in the $10 million range to complex multi-hundred-million-dollar programs in the data center and industrial sectors.

You will lead the development of detailed estimates, budgets, and proposals, and will own the establishment and ongoing refinement of preconstruction processes, systems, and best practices that improve accuracy, efficiency, and competitive positioning. You will work closely with operations, project management, and executive leadership to align preconstruction strategy with how work is delivered in the field and how the company intends to grow.

A significant portion of your role will involve evaluating project opportunities, conducting risk assessments, and developing bid strategies for design-build, negotiated, design-assist, and GMP pursuits. You will maintain and develop relationships with key clients, architects, and subcontractors to support the company's negotiated and design-assist pipeline. Building internal capability is equally important: you will mentor and develop estimating and preconstruction staff, creating the organizational depth needed to sustain growth.
