PRECONSTRUCTION MANAGER - WATER/WASTEWATER DIVISION

This is an ON-SITE position, in Fremont,OH. M-F 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This role is responsible for leading all aspects of the preconstruction phase for water and wastewater treatment projects, effectively serving as a project manager with a specialized focus on preconstruction. The preconstruction process begins with the strategic pursuit of alternative delivery projects—such as design-build, CMAR, or progressive design-build and continues through design development, estimating, procurement planning, execution of construction contracts, and ultimately the seamless handoff to the construction team.

The Preconstruction Manager will oversee and coordinate preconstruction efforts among all key stakeholders, including, but not limited to the project owner, engineering firm, Mosser’s internal estimating and operations teams, and critical trade partners. Success in this role requires strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills, as well as a deep understanding of both the technical and commercial aspects of complex infrastructure projects.

• Creating, managing and driving the preconstruction schedule, milestones, and deliverables.
• Facilitating collaboration between design and construction teams to optimize design solutions for constructability, cost-efficiency, and schedule impact.
• Leading risk identification and mitigation planning during early project phases.
• Overseeing the preparation of detailed estimates and procurement strategies in coordination with the estimating team.
• Acting as the main point of contact for the client and design team during the preconstruction phase.
• Supporting proposal development and project pursuit efforts, including interviews, pricing strategy, and value engineering.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business or a related field.
• Strong understanding of water/wastewater processes and infrastructure.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Project management and organizational skills.
• Proficient in reading and interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documents.
• Strong negotiation and presentation skills, particularly in pursuit and interview phases.
• Professional Engineer License preferred, but not required.
• Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) certification preferred, but not required.

• Mid-level position with 5+ years of experience in water/wastewater treatment plants.
• Design-Build and/or Construction Manager At-Risk experience is a plus.
• Prior design experience is a plus.
