Full Job Description

Heavy Civil Preconstruction Manager

Location:Tucson, Arizona

Compensation: $145,000 – $175,000+ annually, commensurate with experience

Employment Type: Full-Time

The Opportunity

OpTek Partners is partnering with a leading, award-winning heavy civil contractor to find an experienced Heavy Civil Preconstruction Manager for their Tucson operations.

Our client is a well-established, family-owned heavy civil contracting firm with deep roots in the Southwest and more than six decades of construction excellence. They self-perform complex infrastructure for local, state, federal, tribal, and private clients across a broad range of segments — including bridges and structures, irrigation and flood control, site development, transportation, underground utilities, and water/wastewater.

Why this opportunity stands out:

Recognized as a #2 Best Company to Work For
Ranked #4 among Top Arizona Construction Companies in 2026 (and #2 in 2025)
A stable, family-owned culture with a strong project pipeline that invests in its people, rewards ownership, and builds long-term careers

Position Summary

The Heavy Civil Preconstruction Manager leads the preconstruction process for the company's Tucson-area pursuits, owning projects from conceptual budgeting through bid day and turnover to operations. This is a senior, client-facing role that blends estimating expertise with strategic leadership: you will direct estimating efforts, drive value engineering and constructability reviews, manage the bid process, and build the relationships that win work.

You will partner closely with owners, design teams, subcontractors, and the operations group to ensure every pursuit is accurately priced, competitively positioned, and ready to build.

Key Responsibilities

Estimating & Budgeting

Lead the development of conceptual, schematic, design-development, and hard-bid/lump-sum estimates for heavy civil projects.
Prepare and review detailed quantity takeoffs, cost models, and pricing for self-perform and subcontracted scopes.
Develop and validate unit costs, labor and equipment productivity rates, and crew assumptions using historical data and field input.
Oversee Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), unit-price, design-build, and CM-at-risk pricing as applicable.

Bid Management & Strategy

Manage the full bid process, including bid solicitation, subcontractor and vendor outreach, scope coverage, addenda distribution, and bid-day analysis.
Identify project risks and opportunities, develop pursuit strategy, and set competitive bid positioning.
Prepare and present pricing, assumptions, and clarifications to leadership for bid approval.

Value Engineering & Constructability

Lead value-engineering and constructability reviews to optimize cost, schedule, and means and methods.
Evaluate self-perform versus subcontract decisions to maximize cost-efficiency and control.
Develop RFIs, clarifications, and exclusions that protect the company and strengthen the bid.

Client & Partner Relationships

Build and maintain trusted relationships with owners, agencies, A&E firms, subcontractors, and suppliers.
Represent the company in client meetings, interviews, and proposal presentations.
Help identify, pursue, and capture new opportunities in the Tucson and Southern Arizona markets.

Project Turnover & Team Leadership

Lead the handoff of bid documents, buyout information, and project intent to the operations and project management teams at award.
Mentor and develop estimators and preconstruction staff.
Continuously improve preconstruction processes, historical cost databases, and estimating tools.

Qualifications

Required

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field — or an equivalent combination of education and extensive heavy civil construction experience.
8-10+ years of progressive heavy civil construction experience, with a strong background in estimating and preconstruction.
Demonstrated experience leading estimates and winning pursuits across delivery models (hard bid/lump sum, GMP, unit price, design-build, and/or CMR).
Deep knowledge of heavy civil scopes — earthwork, underground utilities, water/wastewater, transportation, structures, and site development.
Strong understanding of quantity takeoff, subcontractor procurement, bid closing, self-perform productivity, and risk management.
Proficiency with estimating and takeoff software (e.g., HeavyBid/HCSS, Bluebeam) and scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project); strong Excel skills.
Excellent communication, leadership, organizational, and analytical skills.
Valid driver's license with a clean motor vehicle record.

Preferred

Public-works and agency experience (local, state, federal, tribal) in Arizona or the Southwest.
Established relationships with Southern Arizona owners, agencies, and subcontractors.
Experience managing or mentoring estimating teams.

What's Offered

Competitive salary of $145,000 – $175,000+, based on experience
401(k) retirement plan
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and holidays
A stable, award-winning, family-owned company with a strong project pipeline and a culture that promotes from within

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

Primarily an office-based role with regular travel to project sites.
Occasional walking on uneven ground and exposure to outdoor environments and active construction sites.
Ability to wear required personal protective equipment (hard hat, safety glasses, vest, steel-toe boots, etc.) when on site.
Prolonged periods of working at a desk and on a computer.
Operation of a personal and/or company vehicle is required.

Pay: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00 per year
