Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, estimating and coordination of projects from initial concept through to contract award. This role will work closely with clients, consultants, design teams, suppliers and internal project stakeholders to develop accurate, commercially viable and buildable proposals. The successful candidate will bring strong technical knowledge, sound commercial judgement and the ability to manage multiple tenders and preconstruction programmes simultaneously.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documentation; preparing and managing project budgets, cost plans, estimates and value-engineering proposals; coordinating design development and buildability reviews; obtaining and evaluating subcontractor and supplier quotations; identifying project risks, opportunities, exclusions and assumptions; and contributing to procurement and contract strategies. You will lead tender submissions, maintain accurate records, monitor deadlines and ensure all proposals are complete, competitive and aligned with client requirements. The role will also involve attending design and tender meetings, presenting commercial recommendations, supporting negotiations and facilitating a smooth handover to the project delivery team.
Applicants should have proven experience in a preconstruction, estimating, quantity surveying or commercial role within the construction or building sector. Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, procurement processes, cost planning and relevant forms of contract is essential. You will need excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills, with the confidence to influence stakeholders and manage competing priorities under tight deadlines. Proficiency with estimating, cost-management and project-planning software is desirable, as is experience delivering tenders across complex or technically demanding projects. A relevant degree or professional qualification in construction management, quantity surveying, civil engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the preconstruction process and contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality projects.
