ELCCO, Kahului, Hawaii, United States, 96732

Save Job

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.

What You’ll Be Accountable For Front-End Conversion Governance

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.

Preconstruction System Leadership

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 .

Relationship Stewardship

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 .

Capacity & Risk Protection

Ensure front-end commitments align with

labor availability and execution capacity .

Protect Operations from overcommitment and downstream disruption.

Maintain discipline when momentum, relationships, or urgency pressure decisions.

Scale & Continuity

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.

What This Role Is Not

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.

Experience Profile 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, and understand how front‑end decisions ripple downstream.

Technical & Business Acumen Strong working understanding of:

Estimating workflows

Constructability and sequencing

Labor, execution, and delivery risk

Margin, capacity, and tradeoff decisions

Electrical or MEP trade experience is

beneficial but not required

Leadership Attributes That Matter Here

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

institutionalizes insight

so others can execute

Why This Role Matters 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.

Ready to Step In? 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—
