Commercial Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Commercial Preconstruction Manager to lead the commercial and estimating activities of projects from initial opportunity through to contract award. This role will suit a commercially astute construction professional with strong knowledge of preconstruction processes, cost planning, procurement and risk management. You will work closely with clients, consultants, design teams, estimators, planners and delivery specialists to develop competitive, accurate and commercially sound proposals.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender and proposal documentation, preparing and managing budgets, validating quantities and costs, coordinating subcontractor and supplier pricing, and identifying opportunities for value engineering. You will establish project cost plans, assess design development and scope changes, maintain commercial risk and opportunity registers, and support the preparation of bids, estimates and financial reports. The role will also involve leading preconstruction meetings, challenging assumptions, ensuring submission deadlines are met and providing clear recommendations to senior stakeholders. Following award, you will support the transition from preconstruction to delivery, ensuring that commercial assumptions, exclusions, risks and commitments are clearly documented.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a preconstruction, estimating, quantity surveying or commercial management role within the construction or related built environment sector. Strong understanding of procurement routes, contract principles, construction methodologies and cost control is essential, together with the ability to interpret drawings, specifications and schedules. You will be confident negotiating with subcontractors and suppliers, analysing complex information and communicating commercial issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tenders under pressure are required. A relevant qualification in quantity surveying, construction management, commercial management or a related discipline is desirable, as is experience with estimating, cost management or project collaboration software.
