Preconstruction Manager

  • Milpitas, California
Position Summary

Leads the design and preconstruction process for assigned pursuits and projects from early opportunity through contract/GMP agreement and transition to operations. Integrates client goals, design development, cost planning, estimating, design and construction schedules, entitlements/permitting, long-lead procurement, constructability, risk and value strategy into a coordinated plan. Creates a positive and cohesive Owner/Architect/Contractor (O/A/C) team and serves as the central connector among the Owner, design team, trade partners, estimating resources and project delivery team, with a clear expectation of no surprises for the Owner.

Key Responsibilities

Preconstruction Leadership & Integration

  • Define the project-specific preconstruction plan, deliverables, responsibilities and decision milestones.
  • Lead regular preconstruction meetings and coordinate Owner, architect/engineer, estimating, operations, scheduling, VDC, sustainability and trade-partner input.
  • Maintain alignment among scope, design, budget, schedule, procurement strategy and client priorities.
  • Establish team alignment, roles and responsibilities early in the design phase and actively manage team health, accountability and decision-making.
  • Coordinate entitlements, permitting and existing-conditions validation where these activities affect design, cost, schedule or project viability.
  • Plan and execute an effective handoff from preconstruction to the project execution team.

Cost Planning, Estimating & Commercial Strategy

  • Own the cost-management process from conceptual planning through detailed estimate/GMP or bid, coordinating estimating resources rather than requiring the role to personally perform every takeoff.
  • Develop, test and communicate assumptions, allowances, alternates, escalation, contingencies and cost risks.
  • Lead estimate reviews, scope reconciliation, bid leveling and budget updates; explain cost drivers clearly to clients and design teams.
  • Support general conditions/general requirements, staffing plans, fee strategy and commercial qualifications.

  • Track design decisions, open issues and owner requirements; ensure changes are understood in terms of cost, schedule and risk.
  • Work with architects and engineers to develop buildable, coordinated and cost-effective solutions while respecting design intent and client requirements.
  • Coordinate consultant and design-assist/design-build trade-partner onboarding, scopes and interfaces so design responsibilities are complete and gaps are identified early.
  • Use structured decision tools such as Options Analysis/A3s and decision logs to make cost, schedule and design impacts visible before major decisions are made.

Schedule, Procurement, Logistics & Risk

  • Develop and maintain the preconstruction schedule and contribute to conceptual construction schedules, phasing and logistics plans.
  • Develop procurement and bid-package strategy with operations and estimating, including early packages and long-lead items.
  • Develop early design-assist/design-build trade-partner strategies and ensure scopes align with the Architect/Engineer of Record and construction requirements.

  • Serve as a primary day-to-day preconstruction contact and build trusted relationships with clients, designers and consultants.
  • Represent XL clearly and credibly in presentations, working sessions and negotiations.

People, Process & Continuous Improvement

  • Coach and support less-experienced team members and share knowledge across estimating, design and operations disciplines.
  • Use XL systems and technology effectively and contribute to improvements in preconstruction workflows.

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or related field preferred, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Professional credentials such as AIA/RA, PE, DBIA, LEED AP, WELL AP, PMP or comparable credentials are valued but not required.
