Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Pre‑Construction Manager or Project Manager with Pre Construction experience to lead and develop a new pre‑construction function within the business. This is a key, senior appointment offering the opportunity to shape processes, introduce structure, and ultimately build and lead a dedicated pre‑construction division. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of five years’ experience in a pre‑construction role and a strong background in managing tenders, methodologies, and early project planning. This role will suit someone commercially aware, highly motivated, and eager to take ownership of a growing area of the business. As this division is in its early stages, the role will initially be hybrid in nature, combining pre‑construction responsibilities with hands‑on project delivery support when required. The long‑term objective is for this role to evolve into a fully standalone pre‑construction leadership position as workload increases.

- Collaboration & Technical Input
- Chair and attend pre‑construction meetings with internal teams
- Support design coordination and value engineering exercises
- Ensure smooth handover of projects into delivery teams
- Hybrid Project Involvement (Initial Phase)
- While tender volumes are growing, provide hands‑on support by managing one or two live projects where required
- Act in a Project Manager or Contracts Manager capacity on select schemes
- Maintain a delivery‑focused mindset alongside pre‑construction duties
Experience & Requirements
- Minimum 5 years’ experience in a Pre‑Construction Manager or similar role
- Proven background working closely with surveying and delivery teams
- Strong understanding of construction methodology and tendering processes
- Experience putting together build strategies and pre‑construction programmes

What’s On Offer
