Key Responsibilities:
Leads multiple project MEP preconstruction teams to ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality across estimating, budgeting, and value engineering deliverables, and drives early collaboration between estimating, MEP operations, and project leadership on complex pursuits, resolving conflicts between design intent and field execution strategy and setting direction on final assumptions.
Directs strategic estimating and cost modeling for MEP systems on complex or high-value projects, ensuring integration with overall preconstruction strategies.
Collaborates with clients, design, operations, and trade partners to incorporate constructability, sequencing, and energy performance into preconstruction planning, and guides cross-functional alignment across estimating, operations, scheduling, safety, procurement, and field leadership, resolving competing priorities when needed.
Oversees implementation and continuous improvement of MEP preconstruction standards, databases, and benchmarking tools.
Develops and mentors MEP preconstruction managers and senior estimators to strengthen technical expertise and leadership capability.
Provides executive-level input on system pricing, escalation, and procurement strategies to support project acquisition and deliver, and champions use of MEP prefabrication on complex or strategic pursuits, aligning design, operations, and trade partners to maximize safety, schedule, and cost benefits while guiding teams on implementation best practices.
Represents the MEP preconstruction function in client and executive meetings, reinforcing DPR’s integrated and transparent approach to project delivery and contributes to development of standards, tools, and best practices that improve accuracy, consistency, and collaboration in MEP preconstruction, and contributes to development of standards, tools, and best practices that improve accuracy, consistency, and collaboration in MEP preconstruction.
