The Opportunity
An established New England General Contractor is entering the Raleigh, NC market and opening a new office.
Our client is a well-capitalized, multi-decade general contractor with a strong, growing project pipeline that is driving this expansion into new geographies; with the bonding capacity and financial backing to support an aggressive build-out of the Raleigh market from the outset.
Its reputation has been built over decades of successfully delivering sizable, high-profile commercial work, and its leadership team is hands-on and growth-minded - known for giving new-market leaders real autonomy, and for building compensation around genuinely rewarding the person who makes a new office a success.
For the right Raleigh-market professional, this is a rare, ground-floor opportunity to build something backed by a company with the track record and resources to make it a success.
What You'll Do
- Lead all preconstruction activity for the new Raleigh office — estimating, scheduling, budgeting, and value engineering — across ground-up and renovation work
- Stand up the local preconstruction function as the office's founding hire, shaping process and team as the office grows
- Leverage your existing Raleigh relationships to bring subcontractors, owners, architects, and engineers into the company's local network
- Partner directly with company leadership on market-entry strategy and business development in the Triangle region
- Represent the company's name and reputation in the Raleigh construction community from day one
What We're Looking For
- Commercial General Contractor experience based in or around Raleigh, NC — non-negotiable
- An established network of Raleigh-area subcontractors, owners, architects, xhqgsiq and engineers
- Working knowledge of the local permitting process, labor market, and competitive landscape
- Strong preconstruction background: estimating, scheduling, and budgeting on commercial projects
- An entrepreneurial mindset
- Salary: Negotiable, dependent on experience (DOE)
- Reporting: Directly to company leadership
