Pre-Qualification Coordinator

Pre-Qualification Coordinator

Arizona-based Willmeng Construction is a 100-percent employee-owned general contractor that has been dedicated to helping our people build their "Genuine Place of Purpose" since 1977. We prioritize our exceptional company culture, which has us ranked in the Top 5 of the Phoenix Business Journal's Best Places to Work for more than a decade and made us the only Arizona construction firm on the Inc. Best Workplaces list for three consecutive years. We have earned multiple appearances on AZ Big Media's Most Admired Companies list, and ranked No. 1 for Healthiest Employers for two consecutive years.

Our people and our culture have also created an atmosphere that encourages going above and beyond for our clients and our community. Our team's dedication to its craft has earned us NAIOP (CREDA) Arizona General Contractor of the Year six times, while at the same time donating more than $1 million annually to community organizations.

Our strategic vision focuses on supporting prelease transactions, competitively bidding projects of all sizes, and fostering our altruistic service culture by recruiting highly talented individuals of great character who want to make a genuine impact on our communities.

The Pre-Qualification Coordinator supports Willmeng's trade partner onboarding and renewal process by coordinating document intake, tracking compliance requirements, maintaining accurate records, and communicating with trade partners and internal Estimating and Project Operations teams. This role helps ensure trade partners meet Willmeng's prequalification standards and project requirements, enabling efficient contracting, mobilization, and ongoing compliance. This role requires detail-oriented document control, disciplined follow-up and deadline management, professional communication, and cross-departmental coordination, all approached with process discipline and a continuous improvement mindset. The work is primarily office-based with prolonged computer use, occasional lifting of office materials up to 25 lbs., and occasional jobsite visits for orientation or coordination. Success means prequalification and renewal files that are complete, accurate, and easy to audit; shorter submission-to-approval cycle times through proactive follow-up; few or no mobilization delays from missing or expired documents; and positive feedback from trade partners and internal stakeholders on responsiveness and clarity.
