Full Job Description
Description

We're looking for a Program Delivery Lead who is organized, thorough, and collaborative - someone who takes real ownership of preconstruction and design from first sketch to final GMP.

The title is Program Delivery Lead. The real job is keeping preconstruction and design moving - aligned, on budget, and on schedule - while every stakeholder in the room stays on the same page

Your Day-to-Day

Preconstruction Planning & Coordination
• Coordinate preconstruction schedules, budgets, and deliverables from day one
• Engage architects, engineers, estimators, and consultants to keep project objectives aligned
• Track timelines and milestones, and flag risks before they become problems
• Build strong client relationships through responsiveness and follow-through

Design Management
• Coordinate design reviews across disciplines to keep everyone pointed at the same goals
• Support feasibility studies, value engineering, and constructability reviews
• Keep design-build and design-assist processes moving under the Program Manager's direction
• Run coordination meetings and document the decisions and action items that come out of them

Budget, Process & Communication
• Support cost estimates, budget updates, and scope definition
• Monitor design progress against target budgets and flag corrective action early
• Coordinate GMPs and lump-sum values with design-build and design-assist subcontractors
• Help standardize workflows, capture lessons learned, and keep documentation audit-ready

The Right Fit

You're a strong fit if you:
• Have a bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field
• Bring 5-10 years of experience in project management or preconstruction within commercial construction
• Have worked with design-build or design-assist delivery methods
• Understand construction budgeting, scheduling, and process from the ground up
• Are proficient with project management tools and software
• Communicate clearly and build trust with clients, subs, and internal teams alike
• Can manage multiple priorities without losing track of the details
• Are willing to travel occasionally (up to 20%) and visit active job sites as needed

Our Values

We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:

Passionate - you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.

Dedicated - you show up fully every day. When things get hard-and they will-you stay engaged.

Thorough - details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.

Respectful - you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here-it's the standard.

What You're Walking Into

Competitive Compensation Package with benefits including: Medical, Dental & Vision • 401(k) with company match • Generous PTO • Travel opportunities • And more

You don't just keep a schedule. You keep an entire project team pointed at the same target.

If that speaks to you, let's talk.
