Preconstruction Manager
Coonan Search Group
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
As a Preconstruction Manager, you play a critical role in setting projects up for success by leading the preconstruction phase with clarity, discipline, and collaboration. This role is designed for construction professionals with 6–12 years of overall construction experience, including approximately three years of hands‑on estimating experience, who are ready to take ownership of increasingly complex pursuits. You are responsible for the daily management, coordination, and successful execution of preconstruction efforts- overseeing estimating, bidding, scheduling, and contracting activities to achieve accurate, competitive, and achievable cost objectives. Partnering closely with the Director of Preconstruction and Project Management teams, you serve as a key bridge between early‑stage planning and execution, helping align client expectations, project strategy, and operational realities to position us and you for successful project delivery.
WHAT'S REQUIRED
- You build and sustain trusted relationships with clients, designers, and trade partners, representing us with confidence, professionalism, and integrity in every interaction.
- You are a clear and credible communicator- viewed by owners as an advocate, by designers as a collaborator, and by subcontractors as a trusted and fair partner.
- You bring a disciplined approach to risk management, ensuring estimates are complete and accurate, contract risks are identified early, and key terms are clearly understood and communicated.
- You lead the preconstruction process with ownership, developing detailed estimates, cost models, and bid strategies that align project objectives with operational realities.
- You proactively identify new opportunities, contributing to pursuits, presentations, and business development efforts that help grow our client relationships and backlog.
- You stay engaged in the industry and invested in people - keeping current with construction trends while mentoring team members and supporting long‑term career growth within the company.
