Preconstruction Manager

Our client is a premier general contractor and construction manager with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and an expanding national platform. Their Seattle preconstruction team supports some of the most complex and high-profile projects in the region, including life sciences lab buildouts, hyperscale data center shells, and large-scale mixed-use transit-oriented developments.
