Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute a comprehensive strategy for preconstruction and technical planning aligned with company growth objectives, partnering with executive leadership to integrate estimating, procurement, scheduling, and design coordination into a unified preconstruction model.
Oversee all preconstruction activities across ground-up, brownfield, retrofit, and fit-out data center projects, ensuring conceptual estimates, budgets, and schedules are accurate, competitive, and aligned with client and contractual expectations.
Provide oversight of estimating quality and budget development at each design milestone, proactively identifying cost and schedule risks and implementing mitigation strategies before projects transition to construction.
Lead the development of conceptual, schematic, design development, and GMP-level estimates, ensuring consistent methodology, accurate quantity take-offs, and defensible pricing across the portfolio.
Establish and enforce robust constructability review and value engineering processes, partnering with design teams to optimize cost, schedule, and operational performance without compromising quality.
Own preconstruction scheduling, ensuring design, permitting, procurement, and bid milestones are integrated into an overall project timeline that supports on-time construction starts.
Coordinate with BIM and digital estimating tools to enhance take-off accuracy, collaboration, and transparency across preconstruction teams.
Build, lead, and develop high-performing multidisciplinary teams across estimating, procurement, scheduling, establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations.
Partner with HR to recruit, retain, and develop top-tier preconstruction talent, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous professional development.
Own preconstruction budgets, forecasts, and financial performance, ensuring strong cost control, accurate reporting, and alignment with business objectives.
Review estimates and proposals prior to client submission, approve scope and budget assumptions, and ensure financial discipline across all pursuits to optimize win rate and profitability.
Lead contract negotiation and commercial strategy during the preconstruction phase, securing favorable terms with subcontractors, vendors, and partners ahead of buyout.
Ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements, building codes, and industry standards throughout the preconstruction process, while supporting robust safety planning for construction phase execution.
Develop and oversee risk management strategies across preconstruction functions, ensuring appropriate contingency planning, mitigation measures, and insurance coverage are established prior to construction start.
Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, design teams, subcontractors, vendors, and key stakeholders, acting as an executive point of contact during pursuit and preconstruction for major projects and strategic partnerships.
Identify and implement innovative technologies, methodologies, and best practices to enhance estimating accuracy, improve efficiency, and reduce preconstruction cycle time.
Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure estimating accuracy, bid win rate, and preconstruction schedule performance, driving accountability and continuous improvement.
Lead initiatives to standardize processes, streamline workflows, and enhance the handoff of budget, scope, and schedule information from preconstruction to construction operations.
