Pre-Construction Coordinator

at  Marcon Construction

ABOUT US

Many people will spend their lives in a Marcon home, so we have to build it right, every time. Founded in 1985, Marcon is an established real estate company specializing in acquiring, developing, building and managing properties across Metro Vancouver. A focus on quality and craft is what the business was built on, giving us a trusted name in the construction community. These principles have remained a focus as we’ve expanded into the real estate development and operations space, managing our own projects from conception through to execution, completion, and more recently ongoing management.
We have a commitment to providing elevated experiences at every touch point between our people, our buildings, and our communities. None of this is possible without a hardworking team, working together, to make it all happen. That’s why we’re looking for people who are eager to join an intelligent and motivated team to create something bigger than themselves and build communities that will impact a neighbourhood in infinite ways.

In this role, you will be responsible for leveraging your technical expertise, including advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tools, and construction knowledge to support developing and standardizing Marcon’s logistics, constructability details, and the pre-construction phase of residential building projects. Working closely with the Marcon team, consultants, trade partners, project managers, and subcontractors, you will analyze project requirements, optimize designs, and streamline processes to ensure successful project delivery, with a focus on integrating 3D/4D modeling, scheduling, and clash detection.
