Manager, Electrical, Pre-Construction Services

Description

• Provide expert-level recommendations for the design of mechanical or electrical systems, driving innovation, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.
• Lead the development of exhibit A’s, contract documentation, and project status reports, ensuring all technical and contractual elements are clearly communicated to internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate with design teams to ensure the technical feasibility and efficiency of proposed designs.
• Assist in preparing project proposals, conducting bid evaluations, and assessing the feasibility of alternative solutions.
• Prepare and maintain detailed, organized records of cost estimates, project specifications, and bid documentation.
• Develop and refine cost estimates for mechanical or electrical systems based on historical data, market analysis, and technical specifications.
• Review subcontractor proposals for compliance with technical requirements and identify any gaps or areas for further clarification.
• Manage concurrent pre-construction efforts and support execution teams through the development and deployment of complex system solutions.
• Collaborate closely with the design and engineering teams to refine estimating techniques and improve overall accuracy and precision.
• Lead the distribution of technical RFP documents, manage bid leveling processes, and ensure subcontractor proposals are aligned with project scope, technical specifications, and budget constraints.
• Analyze and refine design documents to optimize system performance and integration within the broader project scope.
• Cultivate strong relationships with key mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and controls subcontractors, leveraging their expertise in system design and construction methodologies.
• Support a seamless transition from pre-construction to construction phases by delivering necessary documentation and detailed design specifications.
• Perform detailed value engineering analyses to optimize system performance and cost-efficiency while ensuring design integrity.

Requirements

• Electrical Candidates – Experience with electrical distribution systems, controls, lighting, power generation, process engineering, electrical design, single line diagrams, or construction management is required.
• Equivalent years of related experience will be considered in place of a technical degree.
• Mechanical Candidates – Experience with HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, process piping, ductwork, wastewater, process engineering, mechanical design, or construction management is required.
• Proficient in various contracting methods such as lump sum, GMP, cost-plus construction management, and fee-based construction. Basic understanding of legal aspects and implications of contractual language.
• Experience working with design and engineering managers to ensure project(s) is/are designed, specified, procured, and constructed within the boundaries of operating guidelines, while conforming to technical requirements and ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively.
• Proficiency in industry specific modeling or estimating tools is preferred, in addition to Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience reviewing and analyzing construction documents from subcontractors and engineers to confirm they comply with the project scope.
• Strong analytical abilities with attention to detail.
• Prior experience in construction estimating is advantageous but not required. (Emphasis on design-build MEP approach with coordination of design and engineering efforts.)
• An MBA or related business qualification or experience is desirable.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Presentations are required to internal and external customers.
• Strong leadership capabilities with a focus on mentoring and developing junior engineers and technical staff. Proven ability to guide teams in applying best practices for system design, installation, and problem-solving.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering (or related discipline) is preferred, with significant experience (8+ years) in mechanical or electrical design, project estimating, or construction management.
