Pre-Construction Manager Opportunity

Our client, a rapidly growing specialty design-build contractor, is seeking an experienced Pre-Construction Manager to lead projects from award through handoff to construction. This is an opportunity to play a critical role in delivering highly customized architectural (structural steel, ornamental metals) and glazing projects for high-profile commercial projects across North America.

If you enjoy collaborating across departments, managing technical details, identifying risks early, and creating successful project strategies, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Lead projects through the entire pre-construction process from contract award to construction handoff.
  • Develop project execution plans, schedules, and pre-construction milestones.
  • Coordinate engineering, estimating, procurement, client relations, and operations teams.
  • Review project scope, budgets, pricing, and contracts to ensure successful execution.
  • Identify project risks and develop mitigation strategies before construction begins.
  • Lead design-assist efforts with owners, architects, consultants, and general contractors.
  • Coordinate shop drawings, RFIs, submittals, procurement activities, and engineering deliverables.
  • Validate constructability, sequencing, dimensions, and installation methods.
  • Support value engineering efforts to maximize project profitability while maintaining quality.
  • Build strong relationships with customers, vendors, subcontractors, and project partners.
  • Help improve internal pre-construction processes and best practices.
What We're Looking For:
  • Experience leading commercial construction projects during the pre-construction phase.
  • Background in design-build, architectural systems, glazing, or architectural metals.
  • Strong understanding of estimating, budgeting, procurement, scheduling, and project planning.
  • Experience coordinating engineering, shop drawings, RFIs, and submittals.
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders while maintaining exceptional customer service.
  • Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills. Must have the ability to present to stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
