Overview

Reporting to the President of Construction Services, the Vice President of Preconstruction provides executive leadership for BRPH's integrated project development and preconstruction function across all Construction Services markets. This position is accountable for converting qualified opportunities into executable, risk-informed projects by integrating architecture, engineering, estimating, planning, procurement, constructability, and construction strategy from the earliest stages of project development.

Job Responsibilities

Executive Leadership and Strategy • Develop and execute the Construction Services preconstruction and integrated project-development strategy in alignment with the company's strategic plan, market priorities, revenue goals, margin expectations, and integrated architecture, engineering, and construction business model. • Lead the enterprise preconstruction organization, including structure, staffing, capacity planning, budgets, performance standards, and resource allocation across pursuits and markets. • Advise the President of Construction Services and executive leadership on opportunity selection, project delivery strategy, competitive positioning, BRPH's role in the delivery model, commercial terms, design and construction integration, and preconstruction risk. • Establish key performance indicators for pipeline conversion, design-to-budget performance, estimate accuracy, preconstruction cost and schedule performance, client satisfaction, design and construction integration, and operational handoff effectiveness. • Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, disciplined decision-making, continuous improvement, safety, and quality.

Pursuit and Client Leadership • Partner with business development, market leaders, architecture and engineering leadership, and operations to qualify opportunities, establish capture strategies, define BRPH's integrated value proposition, and make informed go/no-go recommendations. • Provide executive oversight for major proposals, interviews, progressive design-build and design-build pursuits, negotiated work, construction management at risk opportunities, alternative delivery approaches, and competitive bids. • Engage clients early to understand business drivers, functional and technical requirements, scope, budget, schedule, risk tolerance, decision criteria, and preferred delivery approach; translate those priorities into a coordinated integrated project-development and preconstruction plan. • Lead or support executive-level client presentations and commercial discussions, including project delivery strategy, preconstruction scope and fees, design and construction integration, assumptions, risk allocation, early-work opportunities, and BRPH's value proposition. • Build and maintain productive relationships with owners, BRPH architecture and engineering leaders, external design partners, trade partners, suppliers, and other strategic industry partners.

Integrated Design and Project Development • Serve as the executive leader responsible for integrating BRPH's architecture, engineering, and construction capabilities during project development and preconstruction so that client requirements, design intent, cost, schedule, procurement, constructability, and execution strategy are developed as a coordinated whole. • Lead evaluation of project delivery strategies and recommend the approach that best aligns client objectives, project characteristics, commercial requirements, risk profile, and BRPH's integrated capabilities, including progressive design-build, design-build, CMAR, negotiated, and other alternative delivery approaches. • Establish clear design-development and design-maturity expectations for major pricing, procurement, early-work, GMP, and construction commitments, ensuring that assumptions and unresolved design risks are visible and appropriately allocated before BRPH commits. • Partner with architecture and engineering leadership to establish design-to-cost, design-to-schedule, constructability, procurement, and phasing requirements early in design and maintain alignment through key design and preconstruction decision gates. • Identify opportunities for early trade-partner involvement, early procurement, enabling work, prefabrication, modularization, and phased construction where these strategies improve cost certainty, schedule, quality, safety, or client outcomes. • Facilitate resolution of cross-functional issues among design, estimating, planning, procurement, operations, and client teams when scope, technical requirements, budget, schedule, or risk considerations are in conflict.
