Preconstruction Manager

Preconstruction Manager | Cleveland, OH | $140k+

I'm partnered with one of Cleveland's most established general contractors on a rare Preconstruction Manager opening within their team.

With 80+ years of history in Northeast Ohio, this is a builder that has developed its reputation through long-standing client relationships, quality construction, and a culture focused on retaining and developing its people.

Opportunities like this don't come around often. This is an established, locally focused contractor that values internal growth and long-term careers. For someone looking to make their next move count, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Rare Leadership Opportunity: Join an established preconstruction team with the opportunity to take ownership of major projects and influence decisions from day one.
• 80+ Years of Stability: A Cleveland institution that has successfully built its reputation across generations of construction.
• Culture & Retention: A people-first environment focused on developing employees, promoting from within, and building long-term careers.
• Exciting Project Portfolio: Work across commercial, healthcare, multifamily, senior living, hospitality, and institutional construction, including projects exceeding $60M.
• Stay Local: Projects are primarily throughout Greater Cleveland, offering the opportunity to build a meaningful career without constant travel.
• Real Influence: Work directly with ownership, senior leadership, architects, and clients rather than getting lost in a large corporate structure.
• Work-Life Balance: Unlimited PTO, flexible scheduling, competitive benefits, and a 401(k) match.
• Long-Term Growth: Join a company where you can establish yourself as a key member of the preconstruction team and continue progressing into leadership.

The Opportunity

• Lead preconstruction from conceptual budgeting through GMP.
• Drive estimating, value engineering, and constructability.
• Partner directly with owners, architects, and operations teams.
• Help shape major Cleveland projects before construction begins.

What They're Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial construction experience.
• Background in estimating, preconstruction, or project management.
• Strong understanding of conceptual budgeting and commercial construction.
• Someone who values relationships, ownership, and long-term career growth.
