Apply today! What You'll Do The Preconstruction Manager partners with our preconstruction leadership, operations teams, designers, and trade partners to shape projects from the earliest conversations through a clean handoff to the field. You'll analyze proposals, build accurate budgets, lead bid strategy, and help clients see exactly what their project will cost — and why Barringer is the right team to build it. This is a role for a Creative Problem Solver and Trusted Advisor who enjoys both the numbers and the relationships. Lead pre-bid meetings, site walks, and scope development for pursuits across multiple sectors. Prepare takeoffs, quantity surveys, and conceptual estimates that hold up under scrutiny. Conduct bid leveling, scope gap analysis, and constructability reviews in partnership with operations. Present budgets to internal leadership and clients with clarity and confidence. Source accurate material and system pricing, and resolve cost discrepancies through sharp analysis. Build meaningful relationships with trade partners, A/E firms, and brokers that strengthen our pursuit pipeline. Stay plugged into regional market conditions, trends, lead times, and pricing to sharpen our competitive edge. Ensure a smooth financial handoff to project teams and seek feedback that keeps us improving. Position Requirements What You Bring A strategic mindset balanced with strong attention to detail. The ability to read plans, specs, and schedules and visualize a project from start to finish. Clear communication skills — you can walk a room of managers, clients, or trade partners through a budget and earn their trust. Creativity and resourcefulness in shaping winning pursuit strategies. A relationship-forward approach to trade partners, designers, and clients. Experience 5 years in commercial construction estimating, preconstruction, and/or project management with a commercial general contractor. Experience across a mix of upfit, ground-up, and industrial work preferred. Education Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or a related field, or equivalent industry experience. Skills & Tools Strong estimating and quantity takeoff skills. Proficient in interpreting building plans, specifications, and regulatory requirements (permitting, EPA, zoning, fire marshal). Comfortable with the math of the trade — add, subtract, multiply, divide, and measure with accuracy. Skilled at managing multiple deliverables and deadlines without dropping detail. Work Environment Primarily office-based with regular visits to active indoor and outdoor construction sites. Site conditions include fluctuating temperatures, changes in elevation, and occasional dusty conditions. Must be able to move freely in both office and jobsite environments, with close vision required for plan review and computer work.
