Preconstruction Manager - Kansas City - Ardith Rademacher & Associates, Inc.
Description
We're looking for a driven and detail-oriented Preconstruction Manager to lead estimating and preconstruction efforts for complex commercial projects ranging from $30–100 million. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys strategy as much as numbers, and takes pride in shaping projects from the ground up.
About the Role
As the Preconstruction Manager, you will oversee the early stages of project development—creating detailed, accurate estimates and proposals that set each project up for success. You'll work closely with clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to bring ideas to life, from conceptual budgeting through final pricing. This position is ideal for someone who combines technical estimating expertise with strategic thinking and a passion for building strong industry relationships.
What You'll Do
Qualifications
Why You'll Love It Here
You'll be part of a respected, forward-thinking general contractor known for its collaborative approach and people-first culture. Here, preconstruction isn't just about the numbers—it's about strategy, relationships, and building projects that make a lasting impact.
If you're ready to take ownership of meaningful work, lead with integrity, and join a team that values your expertise, we'd love to connect.
