Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead preconstruction activities for commercial construction projects, with a strong focus on water and wastewater treatment facilities. This is a long-term career opportunity for someone looking to grow with an established organization—not someone who frequently changes jobs every 1–2 years.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead preconstruction activities from initial planning through transition to construction.
- Develop conceptual and detailed estimates, bids, quotes, schedules, and procurement strategies.
- Coordinate with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, and internal project teams.
- Review plans for constructability, budget, scheduling, phasing, and potential risks.
- Prepare and manage RFIs, bids, quotes, change orders, and project documentation.
- Solicit, evaluate, and coordinate subcontractors and suppliers.
- Assist with subcontractor buyout and procurement of equipment and long-lead materials.
- Participate in design and project meetings and help ensure projects transition smoothly into construction.
- Support project budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and overall project planning.
- Lead preconstruction efforts for water/wastewater projects, including process systems, utilities, phasing, and operational considerations.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of commercial construction project management experience.
- Water or wastewater construction experience is required.
- Experience with commercial projects; residential construction experience alone will not be considered.
- Experience with RFIs, bidding, estimating, quotes, subcontractor management, and project coordination.
- Strong understanding of construction plans, schedules, budgets, and contracts.
- Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction/project management software.
- Ability to work independently while effectively leading and collaborating with a project team.
- Strong career history and demonstrated interest in long-term professional growth.
