Job Description

Build More Than Projects. Help Build the Future of Preconstruction.

For more than 100 years, Miller Brothers has built a reputation for delivering exceptional commercial construction projects across the Mid-Atlantic. Today, we're building something even bigger, modernizing our business, investing in technology, and creating scalable processes that position us for the next generation of growth.

We're looking for a Preconstruction Manager who wants to play a meaningful role in that journey.

This isn't simply an estimating position.

This is an opportunity to partner directly with executive leadership, shape how projects are pursued, strengthen client relationships, improve preconstruction operations, and help build the foundation for the future of our company.

If you enjoy combining technical expertise with relationship building, strategic thinking, and process improvement, we'd love to meet you.

About the Role

As our Preconstruction Manager, you'll own the preconstruction process from the earliest client conversations through proposal development and project handoff.

You'll work closely with ownership, project teams, clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to develop competitive budgets, guide project strategy, and help secure new work.

You'll also play an important role in improving how we operate, bringing fresh ideas around technology, systems, AI, and process improvements that help our team become more efficient while delivering exceptional service to our clients.

This is a highly visible position with significant influence on the continued growth of Miller Brothers.

What You'll Do

• Lead the preconstruction process for commercial construction projects
• Develop conceptual budgets, estimates, and competitive proposals
• Coordinate subcontractor bidding and scope reviews
• Build relationships with owners, architects, engineers, and design teams
• Participate in project strategy meetings and client presentations
• Collaborate with business development on pursuit strategies
• Identify risks, opportunities, and value engineering solutions
• Continuously improve estimating workflows and preconstruction processes
• Evaluate and implement modern technology, automation, and AI tools where appropriate
• Partner closely with executive leadership to help shape the future of the preconstruction function

Successful candidates will bring:

• Commercial General Contractor experience
• Experience in preconstruction, estimating, budgeting, or project development
• Ground-up commercial construction experience
• Understanding of conceptual estimating and project budgeting
• Experience coordinating subcontractor bidding and buyout
• Ability to communicate confidently with owners, architects, engineers, and executive stakeholders
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
• A continuous improvement mindset
• Interest in technology and modern construction tools
• Desire to grow with an established company that's investing in its future
