Build the Future of Hagerman in Louisville

Who We Are

For more than a century, The Hagerman Group has built more than projects - we’ve built trust, partnerships, and communities. Since 1908, the Hagerman family legacy has been rooted in integrity, craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing the right thing for our clients, our partners, and our people.

Now, we’re expanding our footprint in Louisville, and this role offers a rare opportunity to help shape and grow a market alongside a respected construction leader.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the preconstruction process from project pursuit through the start of construction. This is a high‑impact, client‑facing leadership role that plays a critical part in winning work, setting projects up for success, and helping establish Hagerman’s long‑term presence in the Louisville market.

This role is ideal for a construction professional who enjoys strategic thinking, collaboration, mentorship, and being at the table early—where smart planning makes all the difference.

What You’ll Do

• Lead pursuit strategies, RFP responses, and client interviews
• Own the preconstruction process from concept through handoff to operations
• Oversee design coordination, estimating, procurement strategies, and early trade partner involvement
• Develop conceptual budgets and detailed estimates while tracking cost trends and market conditions
• Collaborate closely with Estimating, Operations, Safety, and Purchasing to align scope, schedules, logistics, and procurement plans
• Provide value‑added input on cost, constructability, and means and methods
• Lead and develop preconstruction team members while ensuring a smooth transition into construction

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive construction experience, including customer‑facing leadership roles
• Strong communicator and collaborator with the ability to lead teams and influence outcomes
• Deep understanding of preconstruction, design coordination, and estimating processes
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel
• Experience with Procore (preferred) and CMiC (preferred)
• Working knowledge of design and engineering disciplines
• Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent experience)
