Pre-Construction Manager, IKE
About the role
The Pre-Construction Manager owns site selection, design coordination, and permitting for IKE deployments in an assigned region. This person identifies the locations we pursue, determines whether they can be built, and advances each site through design to an approved permit ready for construction. Civil engineering partners produce the SCIPs, prepare designs, and submit permits. The Pre-Construction Manager directs that work and remains accountable for the result. They select sites, review drawings and other deliverables, resolve issues before submittal, manage the permitting schedule, and work directly with city agencies when needed. The right person combines engineering and permitting knowledge with strong project management judgment. They can assess a location’s buildability, direct an A&E firm, spot issues in a drawing set, and navigate discussions with a city agency. The Project Manager owns the overall site budget, forecast, and go-live date. The Pre-Construction Manager owns the work required to make the site permit-ready and keeps the Project Manager informed of progress and schedule risks.
