Commercial Preconstruction Manager

Reference: ohcb7l96sgn4q0anpp02

We are seeking an experienced Commercial Preconstruction Manager to lead the commercial and contractual planning of projects from early-stage opportunity through to construction commencement. This role will be responsible for developing robust cost plans, procurement strategies, tender documentation and commercial assessments, ensuring that projects are positioned for successful delivery. Working closely with estimators, design teams, consultants, suppliers and operational stakeholders, you will provide clear advice on cost, risk, programme and buildability throughout the preconstruction process.

Key responsibilities will include reviewing project briefs, drawings and specifications; preparing and managing detailed estimates, budgets and value engineering proposals; coordinating subcontractor and supplier engagement; issuing tender packages; analysing returns; and supporting negotiations and contract awards. You will maintain accurate cost reports, identify commercial risks and opportunities, monitor design development against budget, and ensure all preconstruction deliverables are completed to a high standard and within agreed deadlines. The role will also involve contributing to project reviews, presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders, and supporting the transition from preconstruction into delivery.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in commercial management, estimating or preconstruction within the construction, property or infrastructure sector. Strong knowledge of construction costs, procurement routes, contract principles, tender processes and risk management is essential, together with the ability to interpret technical information and challenge assumptions constructively. You will be commercially astute, highly organised and confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels. Excellent negotiation, analytical and relationship-building skills are required, along with proficiency in relevant estimating, cost management and document control systems. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, commercial management, construction or a related discipline is desirable.
