Preconstruction Manager – Commercial Construction Location: Albuquerque, NM / New Mexico (Santa Fe, Rio Rancho) Compensation: Base Salary plus bonus Signing Bonus: $20,000 (inquire for details)

SDV Construction is seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager (Commercial Construction) to lead estimating and early-stage project strategy across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and the broader New Mexico market.

This role is designed for a leader who thrives in conceptual estimating and design-build environments—someone who understands how to translate early design into accurate, competitive budgets while aligning owners, design teams, and internal stakeholders.

You will play a critical role in shaping projects before they break ground—partnering with business development, operations, and clients to ensure every pursuit is well-qualified, well-priced, and positioned for successful execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead preconstruction and estimating efforts for commercial construction projects from concept through GMP development
  • Perform conceptual estimating, cost modeling, and value engineering to align scope, budget, and owner expectations
  • Guide clients through Design-Build delivery methods, providing consultative support and budget clarity
  • Conduct detailed plan and specification reviews, quantity takeoffs, and subcontractor bid analysis
  • Collaborate with business development, operations, architects, and engineers to ensure cohesive project planning
  • Develop and manage subcontractor and vendor relationships to support competitive pricing and market insight
  • Utilize estimating software and CRM tools (PlanSwift, BuildingConnected, Excel) to track opportunities and ensure accuracy
  • Mentor and support estimating staff, promoting consistency, accuracy, and process improvement

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of preconstruction, estimating, or commercial construction project management experience
  • Proven expertise in conceptual estimating and Design-Build project delivery
  • Strong understanding of construction materials, methods, and current market conditions
  • Experience working with owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors in a collaborative environment
  • Proficiency in estimating software and tools (PlanSwift, BuildingConnected, Excel, or similar)
  • Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining accuracy, timelines, and attention to detail
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred

Market Focus & Travel

  • Primary focus on projects within Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and regional New Mexico markets
  • Occasional strategic travel opportunities across the Southwest based on project alignment and company pursuits

Why This Role

  • Direct impact on project strategy, pricing, and selection
  • Strong alignment between preconstruction, business development, and operations
  • Opportunity to influence high-profile commercial projects from concept to contract
  • Focus on profitable, executable work—not just volume

Total Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation – Base Salary plus bonus aligned with experience and impact
  • Signing Bonus – $20,000 (contact us for details)
  • Comprehensive Health and Insurance Benefits – Employee premium and life insurance fully paid; dental, vision, wellness, and Aflac options available
  • Innovative Schedule and Work Environment – Monday through Thursday 4-10’s with flexibility depending on seasonality and tenure
  • Generous Vacation and Time Off – Vacation, sick leave, paid holidays, parental and bereavement leave when accrued and needed
  • 401(k) Retirement Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan – 4% match on 100% gross earnings; fully vested employer match with annual bonus based on company performance
  • Professional Development Opportunities – Access to certifications, continuing education, and leadership development programs
  • Diverse and Inclusive Work Environment – As a Service Veteran Owned company, we value respect, inclusion, and empowerment
