Pre-Construction Director in Pompano

Job Description

Pre-Construction Director – Vertical Build, Renovation, Additions & Rehab

EDCConstruction | South Florida | Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Performance Incentives - (compensation range will be based on the right candidate)

EDC is a general contracting firm based in South Florida. We are building something rare — a company with the certifications, the talent, and the operational discipline to compete for and win public and private contracts at the highest level. We are expanding and need a Construction Director who doesn’t just manage projects — they build departments, develop systems, and win work.

We are seeking a seasoned Construction Director to lead our Vertical Build, Renovation, Additions, and Rehab division. This is not a title role. This is a builder’s role. You will own the full lifecycle of construction operations — from how we find and price work, to how we win it, to how we deliver it profitably and on time.

You will report directly to the VP/Owner and serve as the operational backbone of this department.

• Identify, track, and pursue private and public construction opportunities including municipal, county, state, and federal contracts
• Know how to navigate public bid portals (Construct Connect - Bidnet, Demand Star, Bid Sync, SAM.gov, Vendor Registry) and private GC sourcing channels
• Build relationships with owners, developers, property managers, municipalities, and procurement officers to generate a consistent pipeline
• Develop pre-bid strategies, attend pre-bid meetings, and conduct post-bid debriefs to continuously improve win rates

• Lead the full estimating process from start to finish: quantity takeoffs, scope development, subcontractor solicitation, bid leveling, markup strategy, and final submission
• Understand bid requirements including bid bonds, performance bonds, payment bonds, and certified payroll requirements on public work
• Produce detailed, defensible estimates with clear inclusions, exclusions, and allowances that protect company margin
• Manage bid calendars and ensure zero missed deadlines

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously from pre-construction through final closeout and certificate of occupancy
• Build and enforce project schedules using MS Project, Primavera P6, or equivalent
• Lead OAC meetings, manage the RFI and submittal process, and handle change orders proactively
• Ensure every project is delivered on time, within budget, and to spec — with documentation to back it up

• Source, qualify, bid out, and contract trade subcontractors across all scopes including concrete, framing, roofing, MEP, drywall, flooring, painting, and finishes
• Build and maintain a vetted, organized subcontractor database by trade and geography
• Enforce subcontractor performance, insurance compliance, and safety requirements on every project
• Negotiate subcontract terms, manage scope gaps, and protect the company from back-charge and lien exposure

• Build and manage project budgets; track cost codes, committed costs, and projected final costs weekly
• Review and approve subcontractor pay applications, lien waivers, and invoices
• Understand Florida lien law, Notice to Owner requirements, and bond claim procedures
• Support bonding renewals and prequalification packages with organized, current project documentation

• Build the operational infrastructure of this department — estimating templates, project workflows, submittal logs, closeout checklists, and reporting systems
• Hire, onboard, and manage field superintendents, project managers, and project coordinators
• Train the team on company standards, OSHA safety compliance, and documentation requirements
• Create a department that runs with consistency, accountability, and profitability

• 15+ years of construction experience, with at least 5 years in a Director, Senior Project Manager, or Operations leadership role with a general contractor
• Proven, documented experience winning public contracts — you know the ITB, RFQ, and RFP process…
