Preconstruction Manager – Complex Infrastructure Projects

Join us as a Preconstruction Manager of Complex Infastructure Projects and take ownership of high-impact initiatives that shape our business.

You'll lead the preconstruction process for assigned projects from early concept and design development through subcontractor evaluation and selection, construction readiness, and formal turnover to the delivery team.

This role integrates design, constructability, cost, schedule, procurement, site logistics, risk, and contractor-market input into a coordinated plan that can be successfully executed in the field.

What will you do?

Preconstruction Leadership and Project Strategy


* Lead the preconstruction process and establish the project-specific plan, milestones, responsibilities, decision requirements, and level of effort needed to move the project from development into construction.


* Evaluate project requirements, delivery method, design maturity, contract approach, site conditions, permitting, occupied or operating-facility constraints, market capacity, schedule pressure, and commercial exposure.


* Coordinate closely with the Solution Architect, Engineering, Operations, Project Management, Procurement, Estimating, Scheduling, field leadership, clients, consultants, contractors, and vendors to maintain alignment and timely decision-making.

Constructability and Design Integration


* Provide the construction and field-execution perspective throughout project development, including input on construction means and methods, access, phasing, site logistics, temporary works, equipment installation, shutdowns or outages, testing, startup, commissioning, safety, quality, and maintainability.


* Perform constructability reviews to identify missing or incomplete design information, scope interfaces, access limitations, installation challenges, temporary requirements, and other conditions that could affect cost, schedule, safety, quality, or execution.

Coordinate findings with Engineering and the project team for evaluation and resolution.


* Participate in value-engineering and design-to-budget discussions by evaluating proposed alternatives from a construction cost, schedule, constructability, logistics, commissioning, operational, lifecycle, and project-risk perspective.

Estimating, Procurement, and Trade Partner Coordination


* Develop the estimating and bid-package strategy, including scope breakdown, trade coverage, project assumptions, allowances, general conditions, temporary requirements, logistics, and execution risks.


* Partner with the estimating resource and Procurement to develop bid packages, identify qualified bidders, obtain market input, conduct scope reviews, level proposals, identify gaps or overlaps, and support subcontractor and vendor recommendations.


* Review conceptual budgets, estimates, pricing assumptions, contingencies, escalation, and scope coverage for alignment with the design and intended construction approach.
