VP Preconstruction - QDC

QISG leverages Quanta’s comprehensive resources to deliver collaborative solutions for our partners' energy infrastructure needs. We use in-house talent, expertise and resources to plan, design, engineer, manage, conduct maintenance on and construct projects.

Our turnkey service capabilities provide our customers with efficiency, consistency, attention to detail and safe execution. The QISG team brings together Engineering, Safety, Quality, Material Procurement, QA/QC, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Scheduling, Environmental Planning, Permitting, Title and Land Management expertise that ensure outstanding results for our clients.

We are seeking an executive-level, technically sophisticated, and operationally authoritative Vice President of Preconstruction to architect, estimate, and structure our largest multi-disciplinary capital projects. Reporting directly to the President of Data Center Construction, this high-visibility leader will work in lockstep with our Commercial Operations (Sales) team to transform warm enterprise leads and complex RFP opportunities into unified, comprehensive service solutions.

The modern hyperscale and AI data center market demands single-source infrastructure delivery. Our parent organization operates distinct, specialized business units covering Heavy Civil Construction, Underground Installation, Utility/Linework, and Mission-Critical Data Center Electrical Construction.

As the technical and operational bridge, the VP of Preconstruction will lead a multi-disciplinary estimating team to dissect incoming RFPs, eliminate divisional scope gaps, mitigate macro-level risk, and build the turn-key delivery models that secure our largest contract awards. Beyond the win, this executive will play a decisive role in defining the project lifecycle—establishing watertight operational hand-offs, optimizing project cash flow, and directly influencing field project controls to protect profitability from inception to execution.

Partner closely with Legal, Commercial Operations, and the President of Data Center Construction to drive the negotiation of major contract terms, scope clarifications, and commercial deviations with the client, ensuring the operational risks of all four business lines are fully mitigated.

2. Cross-Divisional Solution Architecture & Interface Management

Collaborate horizontally with executive leadership and General Managers across our Civil, Underground, and Utility operating units to secure estimating resources and align divisional strategies.

Act as the definitive "interface manager" across divisions, establishing clear scope boundaries to eliminate budget duplication or costly gaps where civil earthwork, deep underground duct banks, utility grid-ties, and data center facilities intersect.

Synchronize separate divisional estimates, schedules, and resource plans into a single, cohesive, master project delivery model.

Supervise the creation of detailed initial master schedules that seamlessly integrate multi-unit timelines, ensuring that heavy civil site preparation and underground duct-bank installations perfectly synchronize with utility…
