We are passionate about making a difference and obsessed with quality. Our goal is to build a world where every resident can sleep safely at night, knowing their home is 100% safe. We are looking for a Pre-Construction Manager to lead our Building Fabric pre-construction activity across the South West — owning the full bid process from enquiry through to submission, delivering high-quality tenders, and converting pipeline into won work. Reporting to the Head of Pre-Construction, you will take responsibility for the quality, accuracy, and competitiveness of everything that leaves your desk.

Produce and sign off high-quality, competitive tender submissions for building fabric and passive fire works, ensuring every bid is accurate, compliant, and compelling. Manage and develop the South West pre-construction team — setting standards, mentoring APCMs, and building a high-performing function. Work closely with the estimating and design teams to ensure bids are fully scoped, accurately priced, and technically sound. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and specifiers across the South West — positioning Harmony as the partner of choice for building fabric works. Manage the live bid tracker for your region, ensuring accurate pipeline reporting and timely submissions across all live opportunities. Support the handover of won projects to the delivery team, ensuring pre-construction information is transferred clearly and completely.
