- Develop detailed cost plans, tender submissions, and technical proposals.
- Coordinate design development with internal teams, external designers, and specialist consultants.
- Provide value engineering options, buildability advice, and technical solutions.
- Manage early engagement with subcontractors to validate pricing, sequencing, and technical assumptions.
- Prepare and present proposals, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and commercial competitiveness.
- Support the transition from pre-construction to delivery, ensuring seamless handover of information.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of pre-construction processes, standards, and client engagement methods.
- Represent the business professionally, consistently, and confidently in all client interactions.
