Electrical Preconstruction Manager / HPM

The Electrical Preconstruction Manager is responsible for conceptual budgeting and detailed estimating of electrical, low voltage, lighting, and all related systems. This position will also be expected to handle electrical site distribution, overhead and UG, site lighting, transformers, and infrastructure. This position will work alongside other HPM team members to anticipate and fully account for scope of work related to electrical systems when performing early conceptual budgeting as well as when assembling detailed estimates based on construction drawings and specifications. This role will support multiple preconstruction managers within HPM. As such, candidates should have experience handling multiple concurrent projects. The Electrical Preconstruction Manager (EPM) should have an extensive knowledge of the equipment, components, materials, labor productivity, performance criteria, and overall system designs to insure HPM is able to adequately forecast the cost of electrical systems. The EPM must be capable of performing conceptual budgeting (based on little information) as well as detailed estimates for a wide range of projects and system types and the ability to train and manage others. Due to frequent work with public bids, the EPM will be expected to perform these duties with minimal assistance from the subcontractor and supplier community. In this role, you may be required to travel up to 10% of the time. Responsibilities Perform and train/manage others to perform cost budgets for electrical, low voltage systems, lighting, fire alarm, site lighting and power distribution systems, including planning quantity survey, sub/vendor solicitation, preparation of scope sheets, estimate preparation, review, and presentation. Provide team support for all budgeting related specifically to electrical and related systems. Prepare and maintain the electrical systems project estimates and related Value Optimization options. Effectively communicate with manufacturers, vendors, general contractors, and owners throughout the preconstruction process, build relationships, evaluates proposals, and ensures accuracy of scope of work and pricing. Confer with manufacturers, vendors, general contractors, owners and HPM team members on changes and adjustments to cost estimates. Solicits and maintains communication with subcontractors and vendors. Review drawings and plans for conflicting dimensions, elevations, and discrepancies. Highlight issues. Review plans and specification to prepare quantity surveys utilizing both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional quantity survey tools. Researches and communicates to HPM team members changes in industry trends, new technologies/materials, energy code requirement changes, relevant commodity pricing fluctuations, and labor issues. Train and manage a team to provide conceptual cost budgets and often iterative detailed cost estimates based on the level of design documentation available for a given project phase. Requirements Bachelor's Degree in Building Science, Construction Management, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related field 7+ years of experience within a Pre-construction/Estimating environment, working with large commercial or industrial projects specifically focused on electrical, low voltage systems, and related utilities. Advanced knowledge of principles and practices of construction cost estimating, value engineering, conceptual budgeting, and scheduling. Proficient in MS Office, estimating and scheduling software; Experience with BIM software and Trimble Enterprise (or similar software) preferred.
