VP of Preconstruction - Electrical

Role Purpose

The Vice President of Preconstruction is accountable for how work enters ELCCO
. This role exists to ensure early access, relationships, and opportunities are converted into disciplined, executable, negotiated work
—aligned with ELCCO’s operational capacity, margin requirements, and long‑term strategy. The VP of Preconstruction improves decision quality before commitments are made
, so ELCCO consistently wins the right work, at the right terms, at the right time
. This is not a sales role and not a production role. It is a governance and system‑leadership role at the front end of the business.

• Serve as the final decision authority on whether opportunities are pursued, paused, or exited
• Ensure early access and conversations are shaped into clear, executable scope—or exited decisively
• Protect ELCCO from absorbing indecision, ambiguity, or misaligned risk

• Lead the coordinated front‑end system spanning Business Development, Project Development, and Estimating
• Establish and maintain clear role boundaries—who owns what, and when
• Ensure estimating resources are applied to qualified, well‑defined opportunities

• Act as ELCCO’s senior front‑end relationship owner during moments of tension, change, or escalation
• Partner closely with Operations to protect preferred status and long‑term relationship value

• Ensure front‑end commitments align with labor availability and execution capacity
• Protect Operations from over commitment and downstream disruption
• Maintain discipline when momentum, relationships, or urgency pressure decisions

• Design a front‑end system that scales without heroics or bottlenecks
• Reduce dependence on any single individual—including the Visionary
• Build durability so the system functions effectively during leadership absence

• Not a quota‑carrying sales role
• Not a project management role
• Not a day‑to‑day estimating role
• Not a hero, fixer, or escalation sponge

This role exists to make fewer, better decisions earlier
—not to push more work through the system.

We’re looking for a senior leader with experience in complex, project‑based environments
, such as:

• Project Executive
• Senior Project Manager
• Preconstruction or Front‑End Leader

You bring a proven ability to:

• Convert early conversations into clear, executable scope
• Say “no” to misaligned work—professionally and decisively
• Balance client relationships with company constraints and long‑term health

You’ve worked directly with owners, developers, general contractors, estimators, and operations leaders,-engineering how front‑end decisions ripple downstream.

• Strong working understanding of:
  • Estimating workflows
  • Constructability and sequencing
  • Labor, execution, and delivery risk
  • Margin, capacity, and trade‑off decisions
• Electrical or MEP trade experience is beneficial but fichier sont not required

• Thinks in systems, not transactions
• Exercises judgment under pressure without relying on authority or heroics
• Earns trust through clarity, consistency, and fairness
• Comfortable making—and standing behind—difficult decisions
• Learns markets quickly and institutionalises insight so others can execute

ELCCO’s growth and complexity demand stronger front‑end discipline. This role ensures the company continues to grow intentionally
, protects Operations, and builds a durable system that supports long‑term success.

If you are a senior construction leader who:

• Enjoys shaping decisions before commitments are made
• Values discipline over volume
• And wants to build a front‑end system that protects people, margin, and relationships—
