Manager, PreConstruction
for section headings. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Manager, Preconstruction". Not present as heading; we must not add it.
We need sections: About the role (maybe we keep heading "About The Role" as ). Responsibilities: we have "What You Will Do" list. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: we have "What You Bring". Benefits: we have "Macerich’s Total Rewards ..." plus maybe "Remote Fridays" etc. Pay: we have compensation statement but it's vague: "determined based on several factors... Final salary offers will be discussed..." This is not specific numbers, so we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: we have remote Fridays etc. That's schedule info: "in-person work... Remote Fridays for Corporate offices and Field Fridays for Retail Properties." That's schedule detail. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (What You Bring maybe split into Requirements and Skills? The instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine similar content. We have qualifications: Bachelor's degree, years experience, etc. Skills: strong knowledge, proficiency, etc. Could separate into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). But we can also just have one Requirements section containing both. However instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education/experience/skills), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not create Pay or Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated: "Best-in-class benefits with affordable employee contribution levels Paid time off, including vacation time, 12 paid holidays and 80 hours of sick time annually 401(k) match with immediate vesting Ability to purchase company stock at a 15% discount 24 paid volunteer hours and employer charitable match Employee Assistance Program Career-development resources Comprehensive wellness program including a ClassPass membership And more…" That's specific enough. So Benefits section.
Schedule: "At Macerich, in-person work at our offices is a top priority because it allows us to collaborate more effectively, build stronger connections, and maintain the culture that drives our success. To that end, we do believe in a healthy work/life balance and are proud to offer Remote Fridays for our Corporate offices and Field Fridays for our Retail Properties." That's schedule info.
Now we need to extract the "About The Role" paragraph: It starts after "About The Role". The text: "The Manager, Preconstruction is responsible for planning, coordination, and management of the design, estimating, and planning phases of construction projects at each assigned property. Managers, Preconstruction must work in partnership with Development, Design & Planning, Construction, Tenant Coordination, Leasing and Property Management/Operations to achieve the department’s business goals and are expected to do so on numerous projects concurrently or on a large project with assistance/oversight from a Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction. The successful candidate must be able to perform the essential functions of the position satisfactorily. If requested, reasonable accommodations will be made to enable employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their job, absent undue hardship."
We need to keep that as prose in
.
Now Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" list. It's a long list of duties each sentence. We'll turn each sentence into
- . Need to preserve all. Let's extract bullet points:
- Interface with Development, Leasing and Operations to respond to the need for conceptual estimates on potential development, leasing-driven and CAPEX projects.
- Create initial project schedules and clearly define project scope to accompany the conceptual estimate.
- Prepare estimates or portions of estimates for review by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.
- Perform site reviews and develop property condition reports as necessary.
- Assist the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction to develop the project site logistics / phasing plan.
- Touch base with the contracting community periodically to stay current on construction cost information.
- Track assigned portions of the project budget through the development, design, and preconstruction process.
- Create RFP, bid, recommend, and manage civil engineer, soils engineer and surveyor during the design phase, as determined by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction during the design and preconstruction phase.
- Track and follow up on the RFP’s bid analysis and present for review to the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.
- Process contractor/consultant changes including ensuring accuracy and verifying all aspects of each change order for assigned projects.
- Prepare reports and distribute accordingly on specific aspects of the preconstruction program as designated by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.
- Assist Design & Planning during schematic design, design development and construction documentation to provide constructability reviews and updated project estimates when defined in the initial project schedule
- Ensure that the project moves through internal approvals and the design phase in accordance with the initial project schedule. Update & maintain the initial project schedule as required. Communicate important design/development/preconstruction milestones to the project team as often as is appropriate.
- Take responsibility for the project during the transition period to ensure a clean hand-off in accordance with the project transition timeline identified by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.
- In conjunction with Construction, when needed, create RFP, bid, interview, select and write contract for the general contractor(s).
- Track and organize project information, documents and correspondence. Work with TC and the Construction PM’s to obtain historical cost data in the appropriate formats and input into the cost database.
- Assists with group goals and objectives relating to estimating, the cost database, and preconstruction.
- The Employer retains the right to change or assign other duties to this position.
We need to ensure each is a separate
- . Some sentences are long; we keep as is.
Now Requirements: "What You Bring". Let's parse:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field preferred. Candidates with equivalent combinations of education, training, and relevant experience will also be considered.
- Minimum of 5 to 7 years of construction project management experience, preferably within the retail development or commercial construction sector.
- At least 3 years of experience in construction estimating, including cost analysis, budgeting, and bid preparation.
- Professional development or industry-specific education through organizations such as ICSC or similar associations is highly desirable.
- Experience working with a nationally recognized general contractor, commercial builder, or retail developer is preferred.
- Strong knowledge of construction cost estimating methodologies, project budgeting, and financial forecasting.
- Proficiency with estimating software and Microsoft Office Suite, with advanced Excel skills preferred.
- Ability to read, interpret, and analyze construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and related technical documents.
- Demonstrated analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving abilities with a high level of attention to detail.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and stakeholders.
We could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (knowledge, abilities). But to keep few sections, we can combine into Requirements section. However the instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. It's okay to have just Requirements.
Now Benefits: list items:
- Best-in-class benefits with affordable employee contribution levels
- Paid time off, including vacation time, 12 paid holidays and 80 hours of sick time annually
- 401(k) match with immediate vesting
- Ability to purchase company stock at a 15% discount
- 24 paid volunteer hours and employer charitable match
- Employee Assistance Program
- Career-development resources
- Comprehensive wellness program including a ClassPass membership
- And more…
We need to keep "And more…" maybe as a list item? It's vague but it's part of the posting. It's not specific like "N/A". It's okay to include.
Now Schedule: paragraph(s):
- At Macerich, in-person work at our offices is a top priority because it allows us to collaborate more effectively, build stronger connections, and maintain the culture that drives our success.
- To that end, we do believe in a healthy work/life balance and are proud to offer Remote Fridays for our Corporate offices and Field Fridays for our Retail Properties.
We can make two
or combine into one
. Probably one
with both sentences.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading.
Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include any other headings like "What You Will Do" etc. Use the standardized headings.
Thus:
About the role
... (the paragraph)
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
...
Requirements
- ... each requirement/skill
...
Benefits
- ... each benefit
...
Schedule
... schedule paragraph(s)
Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, etc. Also removed "Who We Are" etc. Also removed "Apply now" etc. Also removed "Great people make great properties." etc. Also removed "Macerich is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "About The Role" paragraph includes the sentence about reasonable accommodations. Keep that.
Now check that we didn't include any "Pay" section. Good.
Now ensure we didn't include any duplicated lines. The responsibilities list includes some sentences that may be split across lines; we need to ensure we captured all.
Let's copy the responsibilities text exactly from the posting:
"Interface with Development, Leasing and Operations to respond to the need for conceptual estimates on potential development, leasing-driven and CAPEX projects.Create initial project schedules and clearly define project scope to accompany the conceptual estimate.Prepare estimates or portions of estimates for review by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.Perform site reviews and develop property condition reports as necessary.Assist the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction to develop the project site logistics / phasing plan.Touch base with the contracting community periodically to stay current on construction cost information.Track assigned portions of the project budget through the development, design, and preconstruction process.Create RFP, bid, recommend, and manage civil engineer, soils engineer and surveyor during the design phase, as determined by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction during the design and preconstruction phase.Track and follow up on the RFP’s bid analysis and present for review to the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.Process contractor/consultant changes including ensuring accuracy and verifying all aspects of each change order for assigned projects.Prepare reports and distribute accordingly on specific aspects of the preconstruction program as designated by the Senior Manager or AVP of Preconstruction.Assist Design & Planning during schematic design, design development and construction documentation to provide constructability reviews and updated project estimates when defined in the initial project scheduleEnsure that the project moves through internal approvals and the design phase in accordance with the initial project schedule.

So Benefits section. Schedule: "At Macerich, in-person work at our offices is a top priority because it allows us to collaborate more effectively, build stronger connections, and maintain the culture that drives our success.
