Preconstruction Director - Workplace
Winning work isn't the challenge. Winning the projects everyone else wants is.
The Shore Group partnering with a market-leading workplace specialist that continues to secure some of London's most ambitious, design-led office projects.
As demand continues to grow, we're looking for a commercially sharp, client-obsessed Preconstruction Director who can sit at the front end of major workplace opportunities and turn relationships into revenue.
This is not a back-office estimating role.
This is about influence.
- Influencing clients.
- Influencing design.
- Influencing consultants.
- Influencing outcomes.
You'll lead the pursuit and conversion of major CAT B workplace projects typically ranging from £10m to £30m+, working alongside some of the industry's strongest design, commercial and delivery teams.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
