Preconstruction Manager / Preconstruction Director
London | £80,000 - £150,000 + Bonus + Package
The Company
Our client is a highly successful and growing main contractor with a turnover of circa £60m, delivering refurbishment, new build and specialist construction projects across London and the South East.
Having established an excellent reputation within the private sector, the business has successfully expanded into public sector construction and is now seeking to strengthen its senior leadership team to support the next stage of growth.
The company is already appointed to a range of major public sector frameworks covering housing, education, healthcare, fire safety and modular construction. With ambitious plans for further expansion, this is an opportunity to join a business at a pivotal moment in its development.
A key differentiator is the company's ownership of its own volumetric modular manufacturing facility, giving it a unique capability within the market and supporting its continued growth across both traditional and modern methods of construction.
The Opportunity
This is a strategic appointment for an experienced Preconstruction Professional.
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.
The successful candidate will play a critical role in strengthening the company's preconstruction capability, enhancing its supply chain network and helping secure and deliver an increasing volume of public sector work.

You will have the opportunity to influence business strategy, improve tender competitiveness and contribute directly to the company's long-term growth plans.

- Lead the preconstruction function.
- Oversee tendering, estimating and bid strategies.

- Work closely with operational, commercial and business development teams.
- Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and performance.
- Support the continued growth of the company's public sector offering.
