Project Manager​/Estimator – Public Sector

LMM is growing and looking for an experienced Project Manager/Estimator to help lead public-sector construction projects across Michigan.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being involved from preconstruction through project closeout—developing estimates and bid packages, coordinating subcontractors, managing schedules and budgets, and serving as a key point of contact for owners and project stakeholders.

You’ll work alongside LMM's in-house electrical, mechanical, and rigging/millwright teams, bringing together self-perform and subcontracted scopes to successfully deliver complex public-sector projects.

We’re looking for someone who understands construction, knows how to keep multiple moving pieces organized, and is comfortable taking ownership of projects in active, often occupied environments.

• Develop and manage CM fee proposals, general conditions estimates and reimbursable cost budgets.
• Solicit, distribute and level subcontractor bid packages to ensure complete and comparable scope coverage.
• Coordinate with LMM’s self-perform estimators to integrate electrical, mechanical, and rigging/millwright scopes into overall project estimates, budgets and schedules.
• Conduct site visits and pre-bid walks and develop clear scopes of work.
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, respond to bidder questions and review project addenda.
• Evaluate project estimates against available funding and recommend alternates, allowances, value-engineering opportunities and unit pricing.
• Develop procurement plans consistent with public-agency requirements and drive subcontractor buyout through award. Project Manager
