Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, coordination and commercial development of projects from initial enquiry through to contract award. You will work closely with clients, consultants, designers, estimators, planners and delivery teams to establish clear project requirements, develop robust construction strategies and ensure proposals are competitive, achievable and aligned with programme, quality and cost objectives.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing tender and design information, identifying risks and opportunities, preparing procurement and construction strategies, coordinating estimating and cost planning activities, and managing the production of accurate bids, programmes, methodologies and supporting documentation. You will lead preconstruction meetings, monitor design development, assess buildability, contribute to value engineering and ensure that key assumptions, exclusions and commercial considerations are clearly recorded. You will also support stakeholder engagement, supplier and subcontractor involvement, planning submissions, statutory approvals and the effective handover of secured projects to the operational team.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a preconstruction, estimating, design management or commercial role within the construction or property sector, together with a strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contract principles, risk management and project programming. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are essential, as is the ability to build effective relationships and influence decisions at all levels. You will be highly organised, commercially aware and confident managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment. A relevant construction, engineering, surveying or project management qualification is desirable, along with proficiency in common estimating, planning and document management systems. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping successful projects from the earliest stages, combining technical understanding, strategic thinking and collaborative leadership.
