The team is made up of a highly engaged group of seasoned professionals and emerging leaders. We are creators who believe that what we build drives the growth of our cities and that to fulfill our mission, we must constantly challenge the old way of doing things. Headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, we thrive on building communities, building teams, building leaders, and growing the business throughout the Southeast region with offices in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Preconstruction Project Manager to provide overall leadership and strategic oversight of the preconstruction phase for multiple, complex construction projects. This role is accountable for ensuring that all preconstruction activities meet budget, constructability, and schedule objectives, while aligning with company standards and client expectations.

- Analyze subcontractor proposals to ensure full scope coverage, identify gaps, and validate pricing.
- Partner with Operations to align budgets, schedules, and execution strategies prior to handoff.
- Provide cost modeling, escalation analysis, and budget updates to support informed client and leadership decision-making.

- Oversee preparation of complex bid packages to ensure clarity, compliance, and competitive results.
- Lead scope reviews and bid leveling; confirm recommended subcontractor selections and identify buyout opportunities.
- Collaborate with design partners through RFP processes, evaluate responses, and provide strategic recommendations.
- Ensure bid and procurement processes comply with company standards, insurance, bonding, and scheduling requirements.

Collaboration and Client Management

- Serve as the senior client-facing leader throughout preconstruction.
- Lead preconstruction meetings and presentations, clearly communicating scope, budget, schedule, risks, and opportunities.
- Foster strong working relationships with clients, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders.
- Partner with Business Development and Operations to support pursuits and ensure seamless transition from preconstruction to construction.
- Represent the company’s brand, values, and culture in all professional interactions.

Risk Management and Continuous Improvement
- Identify high-risk scope elements and construction activities and develop mitigation strategies.
- Lead development of clarifications, qualifications, allowances, and contingencies.
- Monitor market conditions, cost trends, and supply chain risks, proactively advising leadership of potential impacts.
- Ensure compliance with contractual, legal, and financial requirements throughout preconstruction.
- Champion continuous improvement through adoption of new technologies, tools, and best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

Demonstrated leadership of multiple complex preconstruction efforts simultaneously.
Extensive knowledge of heavy civil and bridge construction means, methods, sequencing, and cost drivers.
