Chicago, IL

Are you looking to step up into a Director-level Preconstruction role where you can take real ownership, build out a function, and progress toward VP level as the business grows?

This is a permanent position with a fast-growing facilities and construction partner, where you'll be trusted to lead preconstruction from end to end and develop a team as new work continues to land.

The company puts people first with a flexible culture, strong benefits, and a clear need for this hire due to growth.

In this role you'll interface with internal and external stakeholders, create scopes of work, build pricing and bid documentation, and manage bid documents and contracts. You'll work closely with developers and help shape estimating and design approaches, with responsibility across project development and financial management.

This role would suit an architectural or engineering professional with strong preconstruction/estimating experience who wants to lead from the front, grow a team, and step into a bigger leadership position as the company expands.

The Role:

  • Lead preconstruction activities across facilities / construction projects
  • Create scopes of work, pricing, bid documents and contracts
  • Interface with internal teams, external partners and developers
  • Grow, mentor and train a preconstruction team


The Person:
