Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Amazon's Global Engineering Services (GES) North America Design & Construction team is seeking a Senior Preconstruction Manager to serve as Amazon's senior owner's representative during the preconstruction phase of facility delivery. In this role, you will autonomously manage complex, cross-functional industrial preconstruction projects — from site selection and validation through design management, permitting, and contract execution — for new builds, retrofits, expansions, and program initiatives across your assigned region.
You will own project budgets, oversee design management end-to-end, select and manage external vendor partners, and lead project procurement — while partnering with internal teams including Real Estate, Design Engineering, Finance, and Construction, and external stakeholders including architects, engineers, developers, landlords, and permitting agencies. You are accountable for a clean, well-defined handoff to the Construction Manager, and you remain a senior authority and support resource for the construction team throughout the project lifecycle.
Projects include fulfillment centers, sortation centers, delivery stations, and auxiliary buildings supporting Amazon's logistics network, ranging from targeted renovations to large-scale new facility builds. You will deliver a mix of tactical and strategic initiatives (60% tactical / 40% strategic) that impact multiple teams and geographies, and you will guide and mentor other preconstruction managers while contributing to the development of Amazon's construction community.
This role requires 60% regional travel and availability to work from a corporate office when not traveling. Candidates should either live near or be willing to relocate within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Relocation assistance may be provided.

How do I get a construction job in Boston?
Focus your search on Boston's busiest project corridors: the Seaport District, the Innovation District, Roxbury, and East Boston, where commercial, lab, and mixed-use development is most active. General contractors, specialty subcontractors, and life sciences real estate developers are the most consistent hirers. Candidates with OSHA-10 or OSHA-30 certification, experience on urban infill or occupied renovation projects, and familiarity with Boston's dense site conditions tend to get callbacks first.

The local market includes large general contractors managing major institutional projects, specialty trade firms serving the life sciences and healthcare sectors, and owner-operators running multifamily and mixed-use development throughout the city's growing neighborhoods.
Are there remote construction jobs in Boston?
Yes, though remote work is rare for hands-on field roles and more common for project management, estimating, and preconstruction planning positions. About 50% of construction openings tied to Boston are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting demand for office-based coordination work. Roles like project controls analyst, virtual design and construction coordinator, and estimator are the most likely to offer hybrid flexibility in the Boston market.
How can I get a construction job in Boston with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Boston is through union apprenticeship programs affiliated with the Building Trades Employers' Association, which accept applicants without prior experience and pay a wage while training. Large general contractors working on publicly funded projects in Boston also hire entry-level laborers and project administrator assistants. Familiarity with Boston's BERDO sustainability requirements or basic BIM software gives entry-level candidates a concrete edge in interviews.
Which industries hire the most constructions in Boston?
The sectors hiring the most constructions in Boston are Construction & Real Estate and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Boston's concentration of world-class hospitals, research universities, and life sciences campuses creates sustained demand for construction professionals across renovation, expansion, and new ground-up development projects that rarely slow down regardless of broader market conditions.
