Preconstruction Manager

The Fordy Group is looking for a Preconstruction Manager to join a general contractor in Irmo, SC and lead commercial and industrial pursuits across the Midlands. This is a pursuit-leadership role, not just pricing: you will own the relationships with owners and architects that bring work in, and carry estimates of $10M and up from first look to final number.

The business is a commercial and industrial general contractor with offices across South Carolina.

What you'll do

Lead pursuits for commercial and industrial work in the Midlands, from early owner and architect conversations through bid day.

Build and maintain relationships with Midlands owners, developers and architects so the business is invited to the right projects early.

Run estimates of $10M and above start to finish: scope review, quantity takeoff, subcontractor and supplier pricing, bid leveling and final pricing.

Shape pursuit strategy with leadership, including which opportunities to chase and how to position the business to win.

Support owners and design teams through budgeting and design development, offering cost and constructability input.

Hand awarded projects over cleanly to the operations team, so the budget, scope and assumptions carry into delivery.
