Preconstruction Manager
We are seeking an experienced Preconstruction Manager to lead the planning, development and commercial preparation of construction projects from early concept through to contract award. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly organised professional who can bring technical insight, commercial awareness and strong stakeholder management skills to a growing project portfolio.
You will work closely with clients, designers, consultants, supply chain partners and project delivery teams to establish clear, deliverable proposals. The role will involve coordinating the preconstruction process, managing deadlines and ensuring that projects are developed safely, efficiently and in line with client expectations.
Key responsibilities
- Manage preconstruction activities from initial enquiry and feasibility through to tender submission and handover.
- Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work and contract documentation to identify risks, opportunities and design development requirements.
- Coordinate estimating, procurement, design, planning, logistics and technical input to produce robust project proposals.
- Prepare and monitor programmes, budgets, risk registers, value engineering proposals and tender documentation.
- Lead tender meetings, design reviews, client presentations and internal governance approvals.
- Develop strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.
- Support the identification and implementation of cost, quality, programme and buildability improvements.
- Ensure health, safety, environmental and quality considerations are incorporated throughout the preconstruction process.
- Provide a structured handover to the delivery team, ensuring all assumptions, risks and commercial requirements are clearly communicated.
About you
You will have proven experience in a preconstruction, estimating, design management or construction management role, ideally within a main contractor or specialist contracting environment. A strong understanding of construction methods, procurement routes, contract forms and cost planning is essential.
You should be commercially astute, confident interpreting technical information and capable of managing multiple projects and competing priorities. Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills are required, together with a collaborative approach and strong attention to detail. Relevant construction or project management qualifications are desirable, as is experience using estimating, planning and document management software.
In return, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits package, alongside opportunities for professional development and progression within a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
