We are seeking an experienced Pre-Construction and Project Readiness Manager to oversee the planning and coordination process for our residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC projects. This is a key leadership position responsible for ensuring every project is properly reviewed, accurately prepared, fully coordinated, and ready for a successful handoff to operations. This is not an estimator position. We're looking for someone who understands construction from the inside out—someone who can identify problems before they happen, build efficient processes, and ensure field crews have everything they need to succeed on day one. If you're analytical, highly organized, and thrive on creating order in a fast-paced construction environment, we'd like to talk with you. What You'll Do As our Pre-Construction and Project Readiness Manager, you'll oversee the entire pre-construction process from contract award through project handoff.
Your responsibilities will include:
Reviewing construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents. Managing the pre-construction workflow to ensure projects are fully prepared before construction begins. Reviewing plumbing and HVAC estimates to verify they align with approved purchase orders and project requirements. Preparing and reviewing customer proposals. Writing and refining scopes of work. Participating in pre-construction meetings with builders, developers, and project stakeholders. Reviewing project budgets and assisting with financial planning during pre-construction. Reviewing contracts and identifying items requiring clarification or follow-up. Pricing and preparing change orders. Coordinating with field leadership to verify labor, materials, permits, and information are in place before projects begin. Overseeing project handoff to operations to ensure a seamless transition from planning to execution. Continuously improving pre-construction processes, documentation, and quality control procedures. Working closely with office staff and field leadership to ensure projects remain organized and on schedule. What Success Looks Like Success in this role isn't measured by how many bids are completed—it's measured by how well projects are prepared. A successful Pre-Construction and Project Readiness Manager consistently delivers projects that: Are thoroughly reviewed before construction begins. Have accurate scopes, budgets, and documentation. Have materials identified and available when needed. Transition smoothly into operations. Allow field crews to begin work with confidence and minimal delays.
Your goal is simple:
make sure projects are ready before the first shovel hits the ground. Qualifications Minimum 5 years of construction industry experience . Experience in plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, civil, engineering, construction management, or general contracting is preferred. High school diploma or equivalent required. Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications. Strong organizational and project management skills. Excellent written and verbal communication. Comfortable working with multiple projects and competing priorities. Proficient with Microsoft Excel and common construction software. Experience with Bluebeam, AutoCAD, PlanSwift, Stack, Procore, Monday.com, Google Workspace, FieldPulse, ServiceTitan, or similar platforms is preferred but not required. Who You Are You're someone who naturally sees what others miss. You enjoy solving problems before they become expensive mistakes. You understand how decisions made in the office affect crews in the field, and you believe preparation is one of the most valuable parts of any construction project. You're analytical without overcomplicating things, organized without slowing progress, and confident enough to make decisions while remaining collaborative with your team. Most importantly, you understand construction—not just paperwork. What We Offer Competitive salary based on experience.
