The Role We Want You For
The Mechanical Preconstruction Manager will participate in all aspects of the preconstruction process for mechanical systems to develop accurate, detailed cost estimates, often based on conceptual or schematic designs with a focus on heavy/ advanced manufacturing, industrial and mission critical projects. This role is expected to interact with engineers, architects, consultants, owner’s representatives, subcontractors, suppliers, a multi-discipline estimating team, senior management, project supervision, and field personnel.
The Specifics of the Role
- Responsible for the collection and distribution of bid documentation relative to RFPs, and solicitation for bid requests using online platform (Autodesk Building Connected).
- Assist in gathering information to complete Bid Qualification and Criteria requirements.
- Attend pre-bid meetings to become familiar with unique project requirements and analyze existing site conditions to determine required scope that is not already indicated.
- Review and interpret project documents to determine job-specific material, equipment, and labor requirements for scope development.
- Prepare written scopes of work for subcontracts and suppliers and coordinate mechanical scopes with the work of other trades (e.g., civil, structural, architectural, electrical, etc.).
- Participate in pre-proposal design coordination meetings to support the development of pricing documents for conceptual estimates.
- Perform constructability analysis of project documents. Communicate design and constructability issues to the project team, while identifying risk elements and appropriate mitigation measures.
- Provide viable design alternatives and value engineering propositions with analysis supporting benefits to initial and life cycle cost, schedule, maintenance, etc.
- Perform quantity survey of mechanical systems and components using digitized software, and apply industry standard labor rates (e.g., MCAA, PHCC, etc.) to develop accurate cost estimates.
- Evaluate vendor and subcontractor for conformance with proposal requirements; level scopes and identify low cost/ best value responses while capturing assumptions, rationale, inclusions, exclusions, etc.
- Prepare estimates used for bidding and budgeting purposes (including self-performed work); participate in internal estimate review process and assist with final recap of estimate for presentation to senior management.
- Support project management tasks, including budgeting, schedule development, interim design review, change order pricing, procurement, value engineering, and vendor selection based on proposal development.
