Responsibilities
We are seeking a construction professional to become our Precon Manager, someone that can bring real project experience earlier into the lifecycle — someone who has lived in the field or runs complex work and now wants to influence strategy, pursuits, and outcomes before ground breaks.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Partnering with Operations and Leadership on early-phase planning
- Leading conceptual estimating, GMP development, and pursuit strategy
- Advising on risk, sequencing, constructability, and logistics
- Acting as a thought partner — not a heads-down estimator
- Helping position First Finish to win and execute complex work
Who Tends to Thrive Here
- Senior Project Managers or Project Executives ready for a strategic pivot
- Estimators who want more influence and visibility
- Design-Build or TI leaders who enjoy early problem-solving
- Professionals who like thinking critically, collaborating, and mentoring
You do not need to come in as a fully formed “preconstruction purist.”We value strong project instincts and the ability to think holistically.
Qualifications
- Experience: 10–15 years in construction management, ideally blending project management and preconstruction experience.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree required (or equivalent experience).
- Skills:
- Proven success managing large, complex pursuits.
- Expertise in scheduling, phasing, logistics planning, and preconstruction processes.
- Experience across diverse project types and geographies (national experience preferred).
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with clients and internal teams.
