Preconstruction Manager - Water & Wastewater
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning and development of water and wastewater projects from early opportunity through to contract award. This role will suit a commercially minded construction professional with strong technical knowledge, excellent stakeholder management skills and a proven background in preconstruction, estimating or project delivery within the utilities, civil engineering or infrastructure sectors.
You will manage the preconstruction process for complex water and wastewater schemes, coordinating internal teams, consultants, supply-chain partners and clients to develop robust, competitive and deliverable proposals. Key responsibilities will include reviewing tenders and specifications, assessing construction methodologies, developing programmes and preliminary designs, preparing cost plans and estimates, identifying risks and opportunities, and supporting the preparation of accurate commercial submissions. You will lead design and value-engineering reviews, ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental and quality requirements, and contribute to the development of procurement and delivery strategies. The role will also involve attending client meetings, presentations and site visits, managing tender clarifications, and ensuring a smooth transition from preconstruction into delivery.
Applicants should have substantial experience in preconstruction, estimating, bid management or project management within water, wastewater, utilities or related civil engineering environments. A strong understanding of water industry standards, construction methods, contract principles, cost control and programme development is essential. You will be highly organised, commercially aware and confident interpreting technical information, drawings and specifications. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required, together with the ability to influence stakeholders and manage multiple deadlines. Relevant qualifications in civil engineering, construction management, quantity surveying or a related discipline are desirable. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping major infrastructure projects and delivering technically sound, commercially competitive solutions from the outset.
