As part of our preconstruction team, you’ll prepare detailed and competitive cost estimates for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes across a wide range of projects. You’ll work closely with project managers, designers, and trade partners to ensure MEP budgets are complete, coordinated, and aligned with project goals—playing a critical role in setting projects up for success before work ever begins.
At HGC Construction, we are building for the long haul. Exceptional work begins with people who share our values and commitment to excellence.

That’s why we emphasize balance, supporting both professional growth and personal fulfillment. Our culture thrives on celebrating shared victories, encouraging development, and making a lasting impact on our clients and communities. At HGC Construction, we’re not just building structures—we’re building a legacy of quality, integrity, and purpose.

Collaborate with design teams to identify value-engineering and cost-saving opportunities
Participate in constructability reviews to identify coordination risks or design challenges
Support preconstruction efforts related to scheduling, phasing, and MEP logistics
Attend site walks, pre-bid meetings, and design coordination meetings as needed
Build and maintain strong relationships with qualified MEP trade partners
Clearly communicate scope gaps, risks, assumptions, and clarifications to internal teams
