About the Role

Prologis is seeking a Predevelopment (Preconstruction) Director to support development projects across assigned U.S. regions. This role provides early-stage cost intelligence, design-build and preconstruction perspective, contractor engagement, conceptual budgeting, market analysis, and procurement planning to support faster, more informed development and capital deployment decisions. The role improves development velocity, cost efficiency, and long-term project outcomes through earlier alignment between conceptual design, pricing, constructability, sourcing strategy, and market conditions. This role supports multiple concurrent pursuits and developments by translating contractor feedback, market conditions, project risks, design implications, value engineering opportunities, long-lead planning considerations, and cost trends into actionable development guidance and value-based recommendations. The role also helps expand Prologis’ cost intelligence and analytics capabilities by owning structured project and market data capture that supports benchmarking, forecasting, and future AI-enabled insights.

Responsibilities

Partner with Development Management and Capital Deployment during pursuits and early project phases to align market conditions, contractor feedback, design assumptions, and project economics with business objectives and investment strategy.
Support early-stage speculative and build-to-suit developments through feasibility analysis, conceptual design input, conceptual budgeting, contractor engagement, project planning, and cost intelligence that improve project readiness, cost predictability, and pursuit decision-making.
Translate regional construction pricing, escalation trends, contractor and trade capacity, design implications, procurement trends, and market dynamics into clear business and executive-level insights.
Develop and maintain structured regional cost intelligence, benchmarking, pricing visibility, and forecasting across assigned markets using project, bid, contractor, and market data.
Support early conceptual design decisions, value engineering opportunities, long-lead materials and equipment planning, and procurement strategies that enhance cost efficiency, constructability, project readiness, and overall project performance.
Facilitate structured general contractor RFP solicitation processes, including scope planning, RFP creation, distribution, bidding, evaluation, shortlisting, and selection recommendations.
Analyze and level contractor proposals, including divisional scopes, general conditions, fees, contingencies, allowances, qualifications, clarifications, exclusions, constructability considerations, and commercial risks.

Requirements

10+ years of direct experience in commercial construction, including meaningful preconstruction or design-build experience in industrial, warehouse, data center, or large-scale commercial development projects.
Experience supporting early-stage feasibility, conceptual design and budgeting, scope evaluation, design coordination, capital deployment decision support, or pursuit strategy activities.
Experience identifying and evaluating value engineering opportunities and design-cost tradeoffs during conceptual and design development phases.
Direct exposure to general contractor bid breakdowns, including divisional scopes, general conditions, fees, contingencies, allowances, exclusions, and commercial risk evaluation.
Experience leading competitive general contractor RFP processes, contractor engagement, or proposal evaluation activities.
Ability to interpret market conditions, contractor pricing, escalation trends, design implications, and trade dynamics to support development and capital deployment decision-making.
Ability to structure construction cost, bid, and design-assumption data into clear business insights and recommendations.
Experience working across cross-functional teams, including Development, Construction, Procurement, Capital Deployment, consultants, and contractor partners.
Advanced Excel skills, including bid leveling, scenario comparisons, normalization, and cost analysis.
Ability to manage multiple concurrent pursuits and projects in a fast-paced environment.
Willingness to travel as needed.
