Preconstruction Manager - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning and development of water and wastewater construction projects from early concept through to contract award. This role will be responsible for establishing robust project strategies, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring that proposals are technically sound, commercially competitive, and aligned with client requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with estimating, design, procurement, project delivery, and commercial teams to develop accurate and deliverable solutions.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, specifications, drawings, and site information; identifying risks, opportunities, constraints, and value-engineering options; developing construction methodologies, programmes, logistics plans, resource requirements, and preliminary costs; and coordinating estimates, proposals, technical submissions, and presentations. You will lead engagement with clients, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders, while ensuring that all submissions are completed to a high standard and within strict deadlines. The role will also involve supporting bid/no-bid decisions, managing preconstruction budgets, maintaining tender documentation, and ensuring lessons learned are incorporated into future opportunities.
Applicants should have substantial preconstruction, estimating, or project planning experience within the water, wastewater, utilities, civil engineering, or related infrastructure sectors. A strong understanding of treatment works, pumping stations, pipelines, networks, and associated civil, mechanical, and electrical packages is desirable. You will need excellent commercial awareness, contract and procurement knowledge, and the ability to interpret technical information and translate it into practical delivery strategies. Strong communication, negotiation, organisational, and leadership skills are essential, together with proficiency in relevant estimating, planning, and document-control systems. A relevant degree, HNC, or equivalent professional experience is preferred. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping major infrastructure projects and delivering innovative, safe, and sustainable solutions.
