Anticipated Salary Range: $ - $

At Boldt, we build more than complex projects, and we build strong relationships, great teams, and lasting impact. Join Boldt as an Estimating & Preconstruction Manager and play a critical role in transforming project concepts into successful construction outcomes. In this position, you will lead estimating and preconstruction efforts from conceptual budgeting through subcontractor buyout, partnering closely with clients, designers, project managers, and trade partners to develop accurate estimates, evaluate project risks, and create value driven solutions.

You will guide cost modeling, constructability reviews, procurement strategies, and bidding activities while helping project teams make informed decisions that support budget, schedule, and quality objectives. This is an opportunity to directly influence project success while building strong relationships with both internal and external partners throughout the preconstruction process.

This role is ideal for a collaborative construction professional who thrives in a Lean environment and enjoys developing people, processes, and projects. You will champion design to budget approaches, Target Value Design, model based estimating, and continuous improvement initiatives that help deliver exceptional value for clients. Working alongside project and design teams, you will identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and explore innovative solutions that align project goals with budget expectations.

In addition to leading estimating and procurement efforts, you will coach and mentor estimating and preconstruction staff while helping advance best practices across the organization. At Boldt, you will do more than prepare estimates. You will help shape successful projects from the earliest stages of planning through project execution.
