With a reputation for technical excellence, sustainable practices, and successful execution of complex public works projects, the company continues to grow its footprint across the U.S. in progressive design-build and CMAR delivery.
About the Position
The Wastewater Preconstruction Director will lead procurement and preconstruction phases on collaborative delivery projects such as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Progressive Design-Build (PDB), and Design-Build (DB). This role requires coordination with internal project teams, design partners, joint venture entities, and public agency clients.

Key Responsibilities:
During Procurement Phase:
  • Lead preconstruction strategy development in response to RFQs and RFPs
  • Provide input on constructability, scheduling, materials, and project approach
  • Collaborate with designers, JV partners, and stakeholders to develop cohesive proposals
  • Author and contribute content for technical and execution sections of proposal documents
  • Identify and plan for third-party approvals and permitting requirements

During Preconstruction Phase:
  • Manage preconstruction operations, serving as liaison between client, designers, and construction team
  • Provide technical input on treatment technologies (e.g., RO, UV, AOP) to optimize cost and schedule
  • 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
  • 10-15 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
    • Paid time off and company holidays
    • Life and disability insurance
  • Opportunity to work on landmark infrastructure projects with public agency clients
