Preconstruction Manager

Preconstruction Manager | Cleveland, OH | $145k+

We are currently partnered with one of Cleveland's most established and respected commercial general contractors in its search for a Preconstruction Manager to join its growing team.

Qualifications, skills, and all relevant experience needed for this role can be found in the full description below.

With over 80 years in business, this award-winning contractor has built an exceptional reputation for its people-first culture, long-standing client relationships, and commitment to developing employees from within.

This is a rare opening within a department that rarely hires externally, largely due to its strong employee retention and internal advancement opportunities.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 2026 Top Workplace: Recognized for its exceptional culture, leadership, employee development, work-life flexibility, and compensation and benefits.
• Exceptional Employee Retention: A close-knit, family-oriented environment where employees build long-term careers rather than look for their next opportunity.
• Rare Leadership Opportunity: Join an established preconstruction department with direct exposure to senior leadership and the ability to influence projects from their earliest stages.
• Relationship-Driven Business: Unlike traditional hard-bid contractors, this company wins work through its reputation, qualifications, and long-standing developer relationships.
• Continued Growth: An expanding portfolio of repeat-client projects across Cleveland and additional regional markets.
• Career Development: A company known for promoting from within, investing in its people, and providing opportunities to take on greater responsibility.
• Work-Life Balance: A collaborative, supportive culture that values its employees both professionally and personally.

What You'll Be Working On

• Commercial & Mixed-Use Developments
• Multifamily & Affordable Housing
• Healthcare & Senior Living
• Hospitality & Renovations
• Education & Institutional Facilities
• Historic Renovations & Adaptive Reuse

The Opportunity

This position offers considerably more ownership than a traditional estimating role. You'll work directly with developers, clients, and senior leadership, managing multiple projects through the preconstruction process while helping shape budgets, project strategies, and client relationships.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead projects through conceptual estimating, design development, and GMP.
• Manage budgets, estimates, value engineering, and constructability reviews.
• Collaborate directly with owners, architects, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Oversee multiple projects at varying stages of preconstruction. xhqgsiq
