Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, coordination, and commercial development of projects from initial concept through to contract award. The successful candidate will work closely with clients, consultants, design teams, estimators, and construction professionals to establish clear project objectives, develop accurate cost plans, and ensure that schemes are fully assessed before construction begins. This role requires strong commercial awareness, technical understanding, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Key responsibilities will include managing preconstruction activities, reviewing drawings and specifications, coordinating design development, preparing and monitoring budgets, and overseeing estimating, procurement, and tendering processes. You will identify risks, value engineering opportunities, programme constraints, and buildability issues, while ensuring that proposed solutions meet quality, cost, regulatory, and client requirements. The role will also involve preparing tender submissions, presenting recommendations to stakeholders, supporting contract negotiations, maintaining accurate project records, and facilitating a smooth transition from preconstruction into delivery.
Applicants should have proven experience in a preconstruction, estimating, commercial, or project management role within the construction or related property sector. A strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contract documentation, cost planning, and project programmes is essential. Experience using estimating, scheduling, design coordination, or project management software would be advantageous. You will be an effective communicator with excellent negotiation, analytical, and organisational skills, able to build positive relationships and influence decisions at all levels. A relevant construction, engineering, quantity surveying, or project management qualification is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered. This is an opportunity to take ownership of significant early-stage projects and contribute to their successful delivery from inception.
