Preconstruction Manager

Shawmut • Full-time • Columbia, MD, US • 3m ago

Overview

First Finish, a premier full-service hotel renovation contractor is now part of the Shawmut family! As a 100% employee-owned company, we are committed to our people, client service, execution, and safety. Here’s a glimpse into what we are offering:

Health, Dental and Vision Insurance.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - be an employee owner!
401K with Match - receive company match up to 4% of your eligible pay.
Paid time off
The Extras: cell phone, laptop, pet insurance, financial planning services and many more.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a construction professional to become our Precon Manager, someone that can bring real project experience earlier into the lifecycle — someone who has lived in the field or runs complex work and now wants to influence strategy, pursuits, and outcomes before ground breaks.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Partnering with Operations and Leadership on early-phase planning
Leading conceptual estimating, GMP development, and pursuit strategy
Advising on risk, sequencing, constructability, and logistics
Acting as a thought partner — not a heads-down estimator
Helping position First Finish to win and execute complex work

Who Tends to Thrive Here

Senior Project Managers or Project Executives ready for a strategic pivot
Estimators who want more influence and visibility
Design-Build or TI leaders who enjoy early problem-solving
Professionals who like thinking critically, collaborating, and mentoring

You do not need to come in as a fully formed “preconstruction purist.”We value strong project instincts and the ability to think holistically.

Qualifications

Experience: 10–15 years in construction management, ideally blending project management and preconstruction experience.
Education: Bachelor’s degree required (or equivalent experience).
Skills:
- Proven success managing large, complex pursuits.
- Expertise in scheduling, phasing, logistics planning, and preconstruction processes.
- Experience across diverse project types and geographies (national experience preferred).
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills with clients and internal teams.
