Preconstruction Manager

Denver Location Preferred | Open to Remote Opportunities

The Preconstruction Manager supports Pivot Energy’s preconstruction function from mid- to late-stage development handoff through EPC Agreement execution and transition into project delivery. This role coordinates contractor engagement, bidding, estimating, commercial alignment, project-specific contracting, and budget formation in support of Pivot Energy’s project delivery methodologies, including Design-Build, Integrated Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, CMAR, and other delivery approaches used to support successful IPP project execution.

The role engages preferred contractor partners and internal stakeholders across Development, Legal, Project Management, Finance, Supply Chain Procurement, Engineering, Compliance, and other functions to ensure projects enter execution with aligned scope, documented assumptions, commercial clarity, realistic schedules, appropriate risk allocation, strong document discipline, and budgets structured for effective execution control.

This position materially supports Pivot’s eight focus areas throughout preconstruction:
Stakeholder Management, Contract Management, Quality Management, Financial Management, Schedule Management, Compliance Management, Risk Management, and Document Management. The role must understand how decisions across these areas affect estimate quality, contract obligations, budget structure, contingencies, schedule risk, compliance exposure, and execution outcomes.

• Stakeholder Management
  • Ensure the appropriate internal and external stakeholders are engaged from development handoff through bidding, contractor alignment, commercial negotiation, and contract execution.
  • Lead site assessment strategy, field diligence coordination, and consultant engagement activities supporting the Corporate Clean Energy Solutions pipeline from mid- to late-stage development.
  • Participate in site evaluations to validate project readiness, align stakeholders, and proactively identify constructability, schedule, and execution risks.
  • Maintain timely communication, accountability, and alignment across Preconstruction, Development, Legal, Project Management, Finance, Engineering, Procurement, Compliance, and other required participants.
  • Coordinate bid review, scope reduction, commercial alignment, and pre-award meetings with contractors and internal stakeholders.
  • Ensure open development assumptions, commercial terms, owner obligations, and project readiness items are aligned with term sheets, POs, LOIs, EPC agreements, subcontracts, and execution strategy.
  • Facilitate peer reviews and handoff meetings to Project Management following execution so that negotiated terms, assumptions, exclusions, clarifications, milestones, and unresolved risks are fully understood and documented.
  • Drive timely issue closure and escalations of unresolved commercial, schedule, scope, and risk items when required.
• Contract Management
  • Serve as a primary coordination point with Legal and other stakeholders for contract review workflow, issue resolution, document turn management, and negotiation support.
  • Support development of contract exhibits, scope alignment, risk position tracking, commercial clarifications, and approval routing.
  • Maintain clear decision logs, open-issue trackers, review logs, target execution dates, and document version control.
  • Support negotiation planning and ensure pre-award commitments and negotiated terms transition into execution without loss of context.
  • Apply understanding of different project delivery methodologies to contract structure, risk allocation, scope definition, and commercial positioning.
• Quality Management
  • Support Preconstruction leadership in ensuring contractor partners are appropriately prequalified and that contractor performance feedback is incorporated into selection decisions.
  • Help ensure development and bid packages are complete, accurate, coordinated, and issued with sufficient detail to support accurate pricing, schedule development, contracting, and execution planning.
  • Coordinate and participate in field diligence activities, constructability evaluations, estimate reviews, subcontractor procurement efforts, and package quality assurance processes to support accurate pricing, execution readiness, and successful project delivery outcomes.
  • Reduce rework caused by poor document hygiene, incomplete consultant deliverables, or bid packages, missing scope definition, unclear design basis, or inadequate response to contractor RFIs.
  • Integrate safety planning into preconstruction by ensuring project-specific safety expectations, known site risks, temporary works considerations, and safety-related bid inclusions are identified early enough to inform scope, means and methods sensitivity, budget, and contractor alignment.
• Financial Management
  • Produce, coordinate, and validate cost estimates and project budgets for PV and BESS projects, highlighting assumptions, exclusions, clarifications, allowances,…
