Senior Preconstruction Manager

We are seeking an experienced Senior Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, development and commercial preparation of major construction projects from early-stage opportunity through to contract award. This is a senior role requiring strong technical, commercial and leadership skills, with responsibility for ensuring projects are deliverable, competitively positioned and aligned with client expectations.

You will work closely with clients, consultants, design teams, supply chain partners and internal stakeholders to shape effective project strategies. You will manage the preconstruction process across multiple tenders and developments, ensuring that risks, costs, programmes and buildability considerations are fully understood before construction begins.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead preconstruction activities from initial enquiry, feasibility and procurement strategy through to tender submission and handover.
  • Develop and manage realistic project programmes, cost plans, budgets and value engineering proposals.
  • Coordinate design reviews, buildability assessments, logistics planning and construction methodology development.
  • Prepare and present clear tender proposals, commercial reports and risk assessments to senior stakeholders.
  • Identify, evaluate and manage technical, commercial, programme and procurement risks.
  • Build effective relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.
  • Oversee the preparation of estimates, scope documents, tender clarifications and contract information.
  • Support the transition from preconstruction to delivery, ensuring all relevant information is complete and understood by the project team.
  • Provide leadership, coaching and direction to preconstruction and estimating professionals.

About you

You will have substantial experience in a preconstruction, estimating, design management or senior project management position within the construction or built environment sector. A strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contract processes, commercial management and health and safety requirements is essential.

You should be commercially astute, highly organised and confident managing competing priorities to demanding deadlines. Excellent communication and negotiation skills are required, together with the ability to influence stakeholders and make sound decisions using incomplete or evolving information. Experience delivering complex projects across sectors such as commercial, residential, education, healthcare or infrastructure would be advantageous.

A relevant construction, engineering, surveying or project management qualification is desirable, although equivalent professional experience will be considered.
