Commercial Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking a Commercial Preconstruction Manager to lead the commercial and financial planning of projects from early-stage opportunity through to contract award. This role will work closely with estimating, design, procurement, project management and senior leadership teams to develop robust budgets, procurement strategies and commercial proposals. The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of construction costs, risk management and contract principles, together with the ability to influence decisions and build effective relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and internal stakeholders.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender and project documentation, coordinating cost plans, preparing estimates and commercial submissions, and identifying scope gaps, assumptions, exclusions and potential risks. You will support value engineering exercises, establish procurement schedules, evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations, and lead commercial input into design development and constructability reviews. The role will also involve preparing cash-flow forecasts, analysing project margins, negotiating subcontract and supplier terms, maintaining pricing and cost information, and ensuring that preconstruction deliverables are accurate, commercially sound and completed to agreed deadlines.
Applicants should have significant experience in preconstruction, estimating, quantity surveying or commercial management within the construction or property sector. A relevant degree, professional qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable, along with a strong track record of managing complex bids or projects from conception to contract. You will be confident interpreting drawings, specifications and contracts, using estimating or cost-management software, and presenting commercial information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong analytical, negotiation, organisational and communication skills are essential, as is a proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
