What if your next role gave you the opportunity to influence major projects from day one?
If you're passionate about turning ambitious ideas into deliverable solutions, building strong client relationships, and leading teams through the critical early stages of a project, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're looking for a confident and commercially minded Pre-Construction Manager to lead the journey from initial opportunity through to project handover. You'll be at the heart of winning work, driving collaboration, and creating innovative, value-driven solutions that set projects up for long-term success.
Be the Driving Force Behind Successful Projects
As a key member of the pre-construction team, you'll bring together technical experts, designers, estimators, and operational teams to develop winning strategies and deliver exceptional client experiences.
In this role, you will:
- Lead and manage pre-construction activities across a diverse portfolio of projects.
- Build trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and key stakeholders.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary teams to develop compelling, high-quality proposals.
- Challenge traditional thinking by identifying smarter, more efficient ways to deliver projects.
- Drive programme, risk, commercial, and technical planning throughout the pre-construction phase.
- Ensure seamless collaboration between design, commercial, operational, and delivery teams.
- Support bid strategies, presentations, interviews, and negotiations to secure new opportunities.
- Champion quality, sustainability, innovation, and best practice from concept through to construction.
