About The Position

AECOM Hunt has an exciting opportunity for a Preconstruction Manager to join our team of professionals in our Phoenix, AZ office. This role involves managing the day-to-day pre-construction operations, including communicating, proposing, and preparing preliminary budget estimates, design cost estimates, design-development cost estimates, and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposals, inclusive of value engineering. The position requires analyzing and acquiring additional project information such as preliminary schedules, procurement schedules, cost analysis, GMPs, construction documents, blueprints, and bid packages from subcontractors and contractors. A key responsibility is gathering information and data to demonstrate best practices and value engineering for cost savings opportunities to senior leaders of the Preconstruction team to relay to clients in an effort to meet budget constraints. The Preconstruction Manager will manage the preconstruction, estimating, scheduling, and procurement team to research and compile budget estimates and costs from the pre-concept design stage to the construction document stage. Working within the scope of the project’s preconstruction estimates and financial analysis, the role involves researching and considering the interests of all parties, supervising the team, and reviewing, analyzing, and estimating the cost of drawings, BIM, and specifications of projects. This includes proposing means and methods of construction, and recommending cost savings or potential problems on the project. The role also involves preparing pre-construction budgets, ensuring availability of the most recent proposals, costs, estimates, and projections, and demonstrating the viability of budgets to the precon team (clients, architects, and Project Management Executives, etc.). The Preconstruction Manager will articulate and present correct strategy and pricing for each component of the construction cost to provide clients with competitive and accurate pricing. Additionally, the role includes overseeing schedule and workload priorities with staff, organizing the estimating schedule, managing team and staff workload, and distributing drawings, specifications, bulletins, and all pertinent information to estimating staff. Reviewing bids from sub-contractors, scopes of work, and analyzing costs as bids are received are also key duties. Other job-related duties as assigned will be performed.
