How the Role Fits Our Team

The Preconstruction Manager is a key project-team position that supports those leads while taking direct ownership of assigned trade packages, estimates, bidding activities, and procurement deliverables. The role provides meaningful responsibility today and a clear path toward broader project leadership as experience and capabilities grow.

What We Are Looking For

• Approximately 3-5 years of commercial general contracting experience in preconstruction, estimating, project management, or a related role.
• Experience with multifamily construction or other complex commercial projects; South Florida market experience is preferred.
• Assistant Project Managers or Project Engineers with strong estimating, document-review, procurement, and subcontractor coordination experience are encouraged to apply.
• Working knowledge of several major building systems or trade scopes, with the desire to develop broader expertise across the entire project.
• Experience performing quantity takeoffs, preparing estimates, reviewing construction documents, and analyzing subcontractor proposals.
• Strong communication, organization, critical thinking, time management, and attention to detail.
• Proficiency with Excel and Bluebeam; experience with BuildingConnected or a comparable subcontractor bidding platform is preferred.

Why Join Straticon

• Contribute to high-profile multifamily and commercial projects throughout South Florida.
• Learn directly from accessible preconstruction and company leadership.
• Own meaningful scopes and deliverables instead of serving in a narrowly defined support position.
• Build experience across conceptual estimating, design-phase pricing, GMP development, procurement, buyout, and turnover.
• Join a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where initiative, accountability, and sound ideas are valued.
• Develop toward a future Senior Preconstruction Manager and full project-lead role.
• Enjoy a convenient on-site fitness center and on-site childcare at our Deerfield Beach office.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Paid time off and professional development opportunities.
