Pre-Construction Engineer (Low Voltage)

Miramar, United States | Posted on 05/28/2026 VIP Systems is a premier South Florida-based systems integrator specializing in high‑end, large‑scale technology infrastructure for luxury high‑rise and residential developments. We bridge the gap between architectural vision and technical reality, designing and deploying sophisticated low‑voltage systems including structured cabling and enterprise‑grade security. Position Overview We are looking for a Pre‑Construction Engineer who is equally comfortable with a blueprint and a spreadsheet. This is a hybrid role that blends Technical Design (Engineering) with Cost Analysis (Estimating) . You will be responsible for the "technical birth" of a project—taking raw architectural plans and turning them into fully engineered, cost‑accurate bids. You won’t just count devices; you will design the system architecture, identify scope gaps, and ensure that our solutions are both buildable and profitable. Core Responsibilities System Design & Engineering: Develop comprehensive system architectures for structured cabling, CCTV, and Access Control. Create and review riser diagrams to ensure technical viability. Detailed Estimating: Perform digital take‑offs using Bluebeam or similar tools. Build accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) and labor estimates for multi‑million dollar scopes. Value Engineering (VE): Analyze specifications to identify cost‑saving alternatives that maintain system integrity while increasing our competitive edge. Scope Gap Analysis: Review MEP and architectural drawings to catch missing infrastructure (conduits, power requirements, rack space) before the bid is submitted. RFP & Bid Management: Lead the technical response for Requests for Proposals (RFPs), ensuring all technical narratives and compliance requirements are met. Trade Coordination: Interface with General Contractors (GCs) and Electrical Contractors during the pre‑con phase to coordinate pathways and device placement. Project Handoff: Once a job is won, provide a clean "engineering package" to the Project Management team to ensure a seamless transition from bid to build. Requirements Experience: 3–5+ years in the Low Voltage / Systems Integration industry, specifically in a design or estimating capacity. Technical Proficiency: Expert‑level mastery of Bluebeam Revu for take‑offs and redlining. Strong understanding of AutoCAD (Revit experience is a major plus). Deep knowledge of low‑voltage systems (Cat6 standards, fiber optics, IP‑based security, and MDF/IDF room design). Blueprint Literacy: Ability to read and interpret complex architectural, electrical, and structural plan sets. Analytical Mindset: Advanced Excel skills for building complex pricing models and labor calculators. Communication: Ability to explain technical engineering concepts to non‑technical stakeholders (Developers/Owners). #J-18808-Ljbffr VIP Systems, Inc.
