Our client is seeking a highly skilled Estimating & Preconstruction Manager to lead preconstruction and estimating activities across a diverse portfolio of projects. This role will support the enterprise by collaborating with operational groups, project teams, and external partners to deliver accurate, innovative, and value-driven estimates using Lean principles and integrated project delivery methods. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing both internal and external estimating efforts, participating in design-phase cost planning, and mentoring junior team members.

Duties and Responsibilities

Preconstruction Leadership

  • Lead the estimating effort from early conceptual budgeting through to subcontractor procurement and project hand-off.
  • Collaborate closely with project teams, architects, engineers, and clients to deliver accurate, well-structured cost estimates aligned with Target Value Design and other Lean practices.
  • Oversee the creation of bid documents and procurement strategies that support project execution and schedule requirements.

Estimating Operations

  • Review drawings, specifications, and attend pre-bid meetings to fully understand project scope and establish cost parameters.
  • Manage the entire bidding process : bid solicitations, communications with bidders, proposal reviews, bid tallies, and final selection analysis.
  • Ensure estimates are accurate and complete before submission by owning the review and quality control of all estimating packages.
  • Cost Modeling & Value Engineering

  • Perform material and methods evaluations, cost-benefit analyses, and propose alternate solutions where needed.
  • Work with design and project teams to maintain design-to-budget alignment, offering cost-effective options and life-cycle cost considerations to maximize client value.
  • Identify and consolidate risks, opportunities, and potential cost variances to integrate into project forecasts and reports.
  • Collaboration and Client Communication

  • Serve as a key liaison between clients and internal stakeholders, maintaining a professional and ethical relationship at all times.
  • Communicate openly and transparently with clients while protecting confidential and proprietary information.
  • Support internal departments by establishing effective estimating protocols, reporting formats, and resource assignments.
  • Technology and Process Integration

  • Assist in the implementation of model-based estimating tools and processes in collaboration with design professionals.
  • Proactively contribute to process improvements in estimating and preconstruction methodologies.
  • Ensure accurate use of take-off, scheduling, and cost modeling software tools.
  • Team Development

  • Coach and mentor junior estimators and preconstruction staff to build a high-performance estimating function within the organization.
  • Foster an environment of continuous learning and collaboration among team members.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelors degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture required (or equivalent education and experience).
  • 810 years of experience in construction, structural engineering, architecture, or estimating, with a solid understanding of the construction lifecycle.
  • Expertise in estimating systems, cost databases, material / labor productivity, and conceptual estimating techniques.
  • Demonstrated experience with both Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and Lump Sum (Hard Bid) delivery methods.
  • Proficiency with software tools such as Excel, WinEst, On-Screen Takeoff, Microsoft Project, and Primavera.
  • Valid drivers license required; may be subject to annual Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) checks depending on the roles travel needs.
