  • Lead GMP development and pricing strategy, including early works packages

  • Conduct technical reviews and coordinate constructability assessments

  • Build and foster strong client relationships, promoting a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset

  • Oversee coordination with third parties and help navigate approval processes


Requirements
  • 1015 years of construction experience on major water/wastewater treatment projects

  • Proven success as Preconstruction Manager on at least 3 collaborative delivery projects valued at $100M+ each (CMAR, PDB, or DB)

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management

  • Strong technical understanding of advanced water treatment technologies (RO, UV, AOP, etc.)

  • Experience working on public works and low-bid design-bid-build projects is a plus

  • Prior estimating experience on water/wastewater infrastructure projects

  • Willingness to travel as required


Benefits
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives

  • Comprehensive benefits package including:

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

    • 401(k) with employer match
