Preconstruction is where outcomes are set.
Preconstruction is where customer trust is built, construction confidence is created, and margin and quality are locked in before site starts. Customers spend months inside preconstruction and how this phase runs defines both their experience of AVIA and the success of delivery that follows.
AVIA is entering its next phase of growth. We’ve moved beyond startup pace and are deliberately maturing our systems, leadership and ways of working to scale with control.
We’re looking for a Chief Preconstruction Officer to lead our entire front‑end delivery engine across estimating, procurement, design and drafting, interior design, and the presite customer experience.
This executive leadership role works in close partnership with AVIA’s Founder & Managing Director, translating vision and intent into clear standards, repeatable systems and reliable outcomes.
Why you’ll love working at AVIA
- Executive influence across the full residential customer and delivery lifecycle
- Strong alignment between preconstruction and construction leadership
- Opportunity to shape systems, teams, supplier strategy and customer experience at scale
- Trusted leadership team with clear decision‑making authority
- A growing, people‑first builder with a clear product and quality vision
What You’ll Be Doing
- Deliver more construction‑ready jobs every month, lifting speed, accuracy, quality and cost control
- Make the preconstruction operating system stick, one way of working with clear standards, quality gates and workflows
- Own the pre‑site customer experience across every touchpoint, measured, reviewed and continually improved
- Run the preconstruction line end‑to‑end, developing leaders and managing teams and partner panels to clear performance standards
- Build capacity ahead of demand, ready for growth and new product types before volume lands
- Connect sales to site through clean handovers and build‑ready starts that make construction easier
What you bring
- 7+ years’ leadership experience delivering residential construction outcomes
- A leadership style that builds capability, sets direction and removes friction
- Deep understanding of the preconstruction lifecycle
- Proven ability to align teams and partners to clear standards and measurable targets
- A track record of lifting throughput, quality and margin
- Strong commercial discipline with evidence of cost and risk control
This role may not be for you if you
- Prefer relying on what’s in your head instead of what’s written down
- Need to be the hero rather than building systems and team capability
- Default to “we’ll sort it later” instead of locking decisions early
- Expect growth to fix problems instead of exposing them
- Measure progress by effort, not outcomes
