About LightSpeed
LightSpeed Build Technologies is revolutionizing the construction industry through AI-powered robotics. Our flagship systems—BRUTE for automated wall panel manufacturing and DEX for on-site collaborative construction—are addressing the global housing crisis by delivering unprecedented speed, precision, and affordability in homebuilding.
Lightspeed Build Technologies · Full-time · Onsite in Northbrook, IL
Position Overview
Customers and partners come to us for a real price, not a ballpark. As our Preconstruction & Procurement Specialist, you will turn our design team's takeoffs and initial estimates into complete bid packages, run bids with the subcontractors and suppliers behind the work we do not self-perform, and buy out each project once it is approved.
You will build and manage our subcontractor and supplier network, own the final number we stand behind, and turn each project's lessons into a pricing and purchasing process the whole team can rely on. This role brings real construction experience to a team that pairs it with robotics.
Key Responsibilities
Bid Packages & Pricing
- Build complete bid packages from plan sets, Revit takeoffs and initial estimates, with clear scope, assumptions and exclusions by trade
- Apply our robotic-construction cost model to show what a home costs to build our way versus traditionally, including the on-site work that remains
- Turn bids into customer-ready proposals, and join pricing reviews with prospects and partners as the construction cost expert
- Track estimate versus actual on every job and feed what you learn back into our cost data
Subcontractor & Supplier Network
- Build and maintain our network of subcontractors and suppliers: foundations, MEP, roofing, finishes and site work
- Solicit, level and compare bids, and recommend awards based on price, scope and reliability
- Negotiate pricing and terms, and prepare subcontract and purchase agreements for approval
Procurement & Buyout
- Buy out approved projects: lock in material pricing and lead times, and issue purchase orders
- Help set up our purchase order, receiving and vendor tracking process as we move into repeat production
- Coordinate delivery timing with our Production & Delivery Manager so materials arrive when the factory and job site need them
- Manage change orders and their cost impact with customers and subcontractors
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years in residential construction estimating, preconstruction, purchasing or bid management, working with real project costs: materials, labor and regional variation
- Experience running bid packages and working with subcontractors and suppliers
- Comfort reading plan sets and working from takeoffs; you can spot a scope gap before it becomes a change order
- Strong Excel skills and experience with estimating or takeoff tools (for example Bluebeam, RSMeans, Procore)
- Clear communicator who can explain a number to a customer and stand behind it
- Able to work on-site in Northbrook, IL and travel to job sites as needed
Preferred Qualifications
- Degree in construction management, engineering or a related field
- Prefab, panelized or modular construction experience
- An existing Chicago-area subcontractor and supplier network
- Multi-family or affordable housing experience
- Experience setting up purchasing or PO processes at a growing company
- Familiarity with Revit or model-based takeoffs
How We Hire
A short intro call, a practical pricing exercise from a sample plan set, then conversations with our engineering and operations leads.
Why Join LightSpeed
- Help build the preconstruction process at a company changing how homes get built
- Work alongside robotics engineers and see your bids turn into homes built in our factory
- Real ownership of the numbers from day one
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
Employment Relationship
This position is at-will, meaning either you or the Company may terminate employment at any time, with or without cause or notice.

LightSpeed Build Technologies is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and experiences.

Mid Level Preconstruction Coordinator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level preconstruction coordinator job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just participation. Highlight estimates or bid packages you led, relationships you managed with subcontractors or owners, and decisions you drove without heavy supervision. Mid level roles want coordinators who can run a scope independently, so lead your resume with specific projects, deliverables, and the complexity you handled rather than a list of tasks you supported.
Which companies hire mid level preconstruction coordinators?
Companies hiring mid level preconstruction coordinators right now include Jobot, Juneau Construction Company, and Clayco, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. General contractors, specialty subcontractors, and large commercial developers tend to be the most active employers at this experience level, as they need coordinators who can manage preconstruction scope without senior-level hand-holding.
Are there remote mid level preconstruction coordinator jobs?
Yes, though most roles still lean on-site or hybrid given the coordination-heavy nature of the work. About 0% of mid level preconstruction coordinator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, concentrated in estimating and cost planning functions where daily site presence is less critical than it is for roles tied to active jobsite coordination.
How do I move up to a mid level preconstruction coordinator role?
The jump from entry to mid level comes from accumulating ownership, not just hours. Focus on taking on full bid packages, learning to read subcontractor scopes critically, and building relationships with estimators and project managers who pull you into decisions earlier. Demonstrating measurable impact, like improving bid accuracy or shortening turnaround times, signals you are ready for the accountability that mid level roles require.
Which industries hire the most mid level preconstruction coordinators?
Mid Level preconstruction coordinator roles concentrate in Construction & Real Estate, Staffing & Recruiting, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at this level because they run high volumes of complex bids, require close coordination across multiple trades, and need experienced coordinators who can manage preconstruction phases with real accountability.
