An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Preconstruction Manager to support the planning, development and submission of tenders for major heavy civil engineering and infrastructure projects. This role would suit a commercially aware and highly organised construction professional looking to develop their career within a collaborative preconstruction environment.

Working closely with estimators, design teams, planners, commercial specialists and operational colleagues, you will help coordinate bid activity from initial opportunity through to submission and handover. You will contribute to developing robust, competitive and technically deliverable proposals across highways, bridges, earthworks, utilities, structures and other complex civil engineering schemes.

You will have experience in preconstruction, estimating, bid management, engineering or project delivery within the heavy civil engineering sector. A sound understanding of construction methods, tender processes, contract documentation and health and safety requirements is important. Experience of working on infrastructure, highways, rail, utilities or major structures projects would be advantageous.

You should be confident interpreting technical information, managing competing deadlines and communicating effectively with a range of stakeholders. Strong attention to detail, commercial awareness and proficiency with Microsoft Office are essential. Relevant qualifications in civil engineering, construction management or a related discipline are desirable, although practical experience will also be valued.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain broad exposure to complex infrastructure bids, work alongside experienced professionals and progress within a supportive preconstruction team.
