Full job description
At Dean Builds, we don't simply construct buildings, we help our clients solve problems before construction ever begins.
From schools and churches to industrial and commercial facilities, we partner with owners across Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Florida to deliver projects with confidence. Licensed in all 50 states, we have the flexibility to support clients wherever opportunities arise. Our success starts long before the first shovel enters the ground. It starts with exceptional planning, exceptional leadership, and exceptional people.
We're looking for a Preconstruction Manager who enjoys leading complex opportunities, influencing outcomes, and finding better ways to build.
If you're energized by solving difficult challenges, enjoy competing to win projects, and naturally step into leadership when others need direction, this may be exactly the opportunity you've been looking for.
Who Thrives Here
This role is designed for someone who naturally:
Takes ownership rather than waiting for direction
Enjoys solving complicated problems with practical solutions
Thinks several steps ahead and anticipates challenges before others see them
Is energized by competition and finding ways to win
Builds credibility quickly with clients and design professionals
Makes confident decisions using both analysis and experience
Enjoys variety and can successfully manage several moving projects simultaneously
Wants the freedom to improve systems instead of simply maintaining them
Leads through influence, competence, and decisive action
Why You'll Love This Role
You are at your best when you are trusted with meaningful challenges.
Here, you'll have the freedom to make decisions, influence major projects, solve problems that matter, and continuously pursue better ways of delivering value to clients.
Every project is different.
Every challenge is new.
Every win is earned.
If you're looking for a career where your leadership, competitiveness, and strategic thinking directly impact the success of projects before they ever reach the jobsite, we'd like to meet you.
What You'll Do
You'll lead every phase of the preconstruction process, serving as the strategic leader who transforms ideas into executable projects.
Your responsibilities include:
Leading estimating efforts from conceptual budgeting through final pricing
Developing creative value engineering solutions that improve project outcomes
Managing constructability reviews and identifying risks before construction begins
Collaborating with owners, architects, engineers, and trade partners throughout design
Building schedules and preconstruction strategies that position projects for success
Presenting budgets, options, and recommendations to clients with confidence
Mentoring estimators and preconstruction team members
Supporting business development pursuits, proposals, and contract negotiations
Managing multiple projects while maintaining exceptional client service
What Success Looks Like
Within your first year you will have:
Built trusted relationships with owners, architects, and trade partners
Delivered accurate budgets clients can rely upon
Improved project planning through proactive risk identification
Helped secure new work through outstanding preconstruction leadership
Developed junior team members into stronger professionals
Become one of the key strategic leaders influencing how projects are won before construction begins
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
Seven or more years of commercial construction experience
Significant experience in preconstruction or project planning, estimating a plus
Experience leading complex commercial projects
Strong knowledge of construction methods, estimating, scheduling, value engineering, and constructability
Experience with estimating software such as Sage, ProEst, Bluebeam, OST, Excel, or comparable platforms
Knowledge of Design-Build, CM at Risk, or other collaborative delivery methods
Experience presenting to clients and leading multidisciplinary teams
What We Offer

Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
