Preconstruction Manager - Commercial / Institutional
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, estimating and development of commercial and institutional construction projects from early concept through contract award. This role will suit a construction professional with strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness and the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders while maintaining a clear focus on programme, cost, quality and risk. Projects may include offices, education facilities, healthcare environments, public buildings, mixed-use developments and other complex construction programmes.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications and client requirements; developing detailed budgets, estimates and cost plans; preparing tender documentation; coordinating subcontractor and supplier pricing; and managing competitive procurement processes. You will work closely with clients, consultants, design teams, project managers and construction staff to assess buildability, identify value-engineering opportunities and resolve design or scope gaps before construction begins. The role will also involve preparing bid submissions, reviewing contracts and commercial terms, maintaining estimating databases, monitoring market conditions and presenting clear recommendations to senior leadership and clients.
Applicants should have substantial experience in preconstruction, estimating or commercial management within the construction industry, ideally gained on medium to large-scale commercial or institutional projects. A relevant degree, diploma or trade qualification in construction management, quantity surveying, engineering or a related discipline is preferred. Strong knowledge of construction methods, procurement strategies, cost control and contract administration is essential, along with confidence using estimating and project management software. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisational and analytical skills are required, as is the ability to work independently and meet demanding deadlines. The successful candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented and comfortable leading collaborative discussions with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A commitment to health and safety, ethical conduct and delivering practical, high-quality solutions is expected.
