Preconstruction Manager

Ardith Rademacher & Associates Inc

Preconstruction Manager

We're working with a highly respected commercial builder on a confidential search for a Director of Preconstruction.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing operation at a pivotal time. Over the past several years, the business has experienced significant growth and is now managing more than $350M in annual volume, with continued expansion planned across healthcare, life sciences, science & technology, mission critical, and other complex commercial markets.

The person hired will be viewed as a key member of the leadership team and a strategic partner to executive leadership. This is not a role where you'll simply maintain an existing platform. You'll have the opportunity to influence growth, mentor and develop preconstruction staff, lead major pursuits, and help shape the future direction of the business.

What They're Looking For
  • Strong conceptual estimating skills
  • Experience leading large, complex commercial construction projects
  • Ability to manage multiple pursuits simultaneously
  • Experience mentoring and developing estimators and preconstruction professionals
  • Strong client-facing and relationship-building abilities
  • A collaborative leader who enjoys being both strategic and hands-on
What Makes this Interesting
  • Significant growth trajectory
  • Clear leadership runway and succession opportunity
  • Complex, high-profile projects
  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and decision-making
  • Strong existing preconstruction team and support structure
  • Exceptional culture built around trust, collaboration, and developing people
  • Close-knit office environment with outstanding leadership stability and employee retention
  • Hybrid work flexibility

This opportunity could make sense for a Preconstruction Manager looking to step into a larger leadership role or a Director seeking greater influence and long-term growth potential.

If you're curious whether this could be a better fit than your current situation , reach out. Happy to share more details.
