About the Company

The company is a nationally recognized leader in the water and wastewater infrastructure sector, delivering innovative, high-performance solutions through collaborative and alternative delivery methods. With a reputation for technical excellence, sustainable practices, and successful execution of complex public works projects, the company continues to grow its footprint across the U.S. in progressive design-build and CMAR delivery.


About the Position

The Wastewater Preconstruction Director will lead procurement and preconstruction phases on collaborative delivery projects such as Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Progressive Design-Build (PDB), and Design-Build (DB). This role requires coordination with internal project teams, design partners, joint venture entities, and public agency clients.

This is a high-impact role for an experienced construction professional with deep technical knowledge of advanced water and wastewater treatment processes and a strong track record of guiding projects through early-phase planning, budgeting, constructability, and GMP negotiations.

Key Responsibilities:

During Procurement Phase:

  • Lead preconstruction strategy development in response to RFQs and RFPs

  • Provide input on constructability, scheduling, materials, and project approach

  • Collaborate with designers, JV partners, and stakeholders to develop cohesive proposals

  • Author and contribute content for technical and execution sections of proposal documents

  • Identify and plan for third-party approvals and permitting requirements

During Preconstruction Phase:

  • Manage preconstruction operations, serving as liaison between client, designers, and construction team

  • Provide technical input on treatment technologies (e.g., RO, UV, AOP) to optimize cost and schedule

  • Lead GMP development and pricing strategy, including early works packages

  • Conduct technical reviews and coordinate constructability assessments

  • Build and foster strong client relationships, promoting a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset

  • Oversee coordination with third parties and help navigate approval processes


Requirements

  • 10–15 years of construction experience on major water/wastewater treatment projects

  • Proven success as Preconstruction Manager on at least 3 collaborative delivery projects valued at $100M+ each (CMAR, PDB, or DB)

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management

  • Strong technical understanding of advanced water treatment technologies (RO, UV, AOP, etc.)

  • Experience working on public works and low-bid design-bid-build projects is a plus

  • Prior estimating experience on water/wastewater infrastructure projects

  • Willingness to travel as required


Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives

  • Comprehensive benefits package including:

    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

    • 401(k) with employer match

    • Paid time off and company holidays

    • Life and disability insurance

  • Opportunity to work on landmark infrastructure projects with public agency clients

  • Strong organizational support for career development and leadership advancement
