Your JobAs a
Pre-Construction Manager at DEPCOM Power, you will play a pivotal role in driving value creation through ownership of the pre-construction process. You will maximize project outcomes by ensuring clear transitions between phases, equipping Project Delivery teams with reproducible tools and playbooks, and closing feedback loops so knowledge is captured and reused.

- Tools and process development: Build and roll out playbooks, checklists, templates, and automated dashboards (PowerBI) used across projects to improve predictability and decision-making.
- Analytics and reporting: Develop metrics and dashboards that track pre-construction KPIs (estimate variance, time-to-mobilization, stage-gate compliance, key risk indicators) and present actionable insights to leadership.
- Continuous improvement and lessons learned: Capture and institutionalize lessons learned, lead root-cause reviews for early-project issues, and run pilots to test process or tool improvements.
- Commercial and constructability input: Provide execution-focused input to commercial terms, contract allowances, contingency strategy, and subcontractor/supplier sequencing to reduce execution risk.
- Stakeholder influence: Facilitate cross-functional decision-making, clearly document decisions and action owners, and escalate risks when resolution is required.
