Senior Preconstruction Manager - Water/Wastewater
We are seeking a Senior Preconstruction Manager specialising in water and wastewater infrastructure to lead the planning, development and commercial strategy of complex construction opportunities. This is a senior role for an experienced preconstruction professional who can combine technical understanding, commercial awareness and strong stakeholder management to shape successful bids and deliverable project solutions.
You will manage the preconstruction process from early opportunity assessment through to contract award, coordinating estimating, design, procurement, planning, risk and operational input. Key responsibilities will include reviewing client requirements and specifications; developing construction methodologies, programmes and preliminary designs; preparing and validating cost plans, estimates and tender submissions; assessing risks, opportunities and buildability; and ensuring all proposals are accurate, competitive and aligned with project objectives. You will lead tender review meetings, manage internal and external contributors, engage with clients, consultants and supply-chain partners, and support value engineering and commercial negotiations. The role will also involve mentoring preconstruction team members, improving processes and maintaining clear governance, reporting and bid documentation.
Applicants should have substantial experience in preconstruction, estimating or project development within the water, wastewater, utilities or wider civil engineering sector, ideally gained on treatment works, pipelines, pumping stations or associated infrastructure. A strong understanding of construction methods, contract forms, procurement routes, health and safety, environmental requirements and project risk is essential. You will be commercially astute, highly organised and confident interpreting technical information, with the ability to communicate clearly at all levels and influence decision-making. Experience using estimating, planning and document management systems, along with relevant professional qualifications or membership of an industry body, would be advantageous. This opportunity offers the chance to contribute to major infrastructure schemes and play a key role in securing and shaping technically demanding projects.
