A Concrete Preconstruction Manager has a strong understanding of self-perform concrete estimating principles. Depending on the specifics of the project, the Concrete Preconstruction Manager will be expected to interact with Design Teams to optimize design for constructability, cost, and schedule. The Concrete Preconstruction Manager will also be looked upon to coordinate with project superintendents and managers to ensure our estimate accurately reflects the project team execution plan. For larger projects the Concrete Preconstruction Manager would be responsible for leading and managing multiple concrete estimators to complete the concrete estimate.
