Preconstruction Manager

23 hours ago

Kansas City, United States Centric Construction Group LLC Full time

Our projects are about more than concrete, steel, and wood. More than square footage and floor plans. Our projects are about technical innovation and complex problem-solving. They are about pioneering possibilities and building something for the first time - ever. They are about saying yes when others said no. About driving social movement, advancement, and change. We are a family of dreamers and doers, innovative pioneers in construction, and nimbler problem solvers.

Position Objective

The Preconstruction Manager is a key position for Centric in the cost estimating phase of the project and acts as the main point of contact for clients, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, and architects during the preconstruction phase. This position will assist in developing project pricing, determining project schedules, and managing the solicitation, procurement, and negotiation of new business.
