  • Champion innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement across all phases of design and preconstruction.

Design & Preconstruction Management

  • Review and approve all design proposals and preconstruction deliverables for consistency with brand standards, community impact, and client expectations.

    • Client & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as the senior client‑facing representative during pursuit, negotiation, design, and preconstruction phases.
  • Build and maintain strategic relationships with developers, architects, engineers, city agencies, and community stakeholders.
  • Provide thought leadership and market insights to position the company as a trusted partner in design‑led development.
  • Represent the company at industry events, design charrettes, and public forums to promote brand leadership.
  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a high‑performing multidisciplinary team, including designers, estimators, and preconstruction professionals.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, innovation, and professional growth.
  • Establish and monitor departmental KPIs to ensure operational excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Identify and recruit top‑tier design and preconstruction talent to strengthen organizational capacity.

    • Financial & Risk Oversight

  • Ensure design and preconstruction outputs support accurate, competitive, and profitable project delivery.
  • Provide executive oversight for risk identification, mitigation strategies, and contract negotiations.
  • Collaborate with finance, operations, and business development to achieve margin, schedule, and quality objectives.

    • Quality, Sustainability & Compliance

  • Ensure all designs meet regulatory codes, safety standards, and sustainability goals, including LEED and energy efficiency initiatives.
  • Promote universal design and environmental stewardship, aligning aesthetic vision with responsible development.
  • Balance creativity, functionality, and fiscal responsibility to deliver projects that enhance both brand value and community impact.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in design leadership, preconstruction, or integrated project delivery, with at least five years in an executive leadership role.
  • Proven success leading large‑scale commercial, industrial, or mixed‑use development projects through design and preconstruction phases.
  • Deep understanding of design‑build, CM‑at‑Risk, and GMP delivery models, as well as construction means and methods.
  • Strong knowledge of building codes, zoning laws, sustainability standards, and regulatory compliance.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder relationship skills.
  • Proficiency with design and preconstruction software (e.g., Revit, Procore, Bluebeam, Timberline, or similar).

    • Desired Attributes

  • Visionary, strategic thinker with a passion for design excellence and technical precision.
  • Servant leader who fosters collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Strong business acumen, balancing innovation, risk management, and profitability.
