The Senior Preconstruction Manager is responsible for leading complex estimating and preconstruction efforts from conceptual budgeting through project turnover. This individual will independently lead major pursuits, develop competitive pricing strategies, support operational planning, and serve as a trusted advisor throughout the preconstruction process.
This is an opportunity for an experienced preconstruction professional who is already leading complex estimates and major pursuits but is looking for greater influence within an organization.
The ideal candidate is a strong estimator first, with the ability to think strategically, collaborate with operations, mentor team members, and help shape the future of the preconstruction function.
