PRECONSTRUCTION DIRECTOR - RC FRAME, STRUCTURES & GROUNDWORKS Where Innovation and Engineering Excellence Win Projects. £150,000 - £190,000 + Performance Bonus + Car Allowance + Comprehensive Benefits About the Employer: Some organisations build their reputation by following established ways of working. Others build it by challenging them. This is one of those organisations. Engineering excellence, innovation and quality aren't simply company values - they're the foundations upon which this business has been built. Every opportunity is approached with the same mindset: Can we engineer a better solution? Can we deliver greater value? Can we differentiate ourselves from the competition? That philosophy has helped establish the business as one of the UK's leading specialist contractors, delivering complex reinforced concrete structures and groundwork packages across the residential, commercial, industrial, data centre and energy sectors. Reporting directly to the Managing Director and Board, you'll join a leadership team where decisions are made quickly, ideas are encouraged, and experience is respected. Leadership isn't removed from projects - it's built on first-hand operational knowledge, engineering credibility and a genuine understanding of what it takes to consistently win work in one of the UK's most competitive markets. High standards are expected, but so is the opportunity to influence the future direction of the business. About the Role: The best preconstruction leaders don't simply manage tenders. They shape how landmark projects are won. Too often, preconstruction is viewed as an extension of estimating. Here, it's recognised for what it really is: the discipline that brings together engineering, methodology, pricing strategy and client relationships to secure major projects. Projects of this scale are rarely won on price alone. They're secured through confidence in the technical solution, the construction methodology and the people presenting it. This isn't about producing estimates. It's about creating the confidence that wins projects. Working alongside the Managing Director, Board and senior operational teams, you'll help determine which opportunities the business pursues and how they're positioned in the market. You'll work closely with estimating, engineering, planning and operational teams to develop work-winning strategies for projects typically ranging from £20m to £40m, with flagship schemes regularly exceeding £50m. Your responsibilities will include: Leading strategic preconstruction activity across major tenders. Challenging methodology, buildability and construction sequencing. Influencing pricing strategy alongside the estimating function. Leading client presentations, negotiations and pre-award meetings. Building long-term relationships with Tier One contractors, developers and end clients. Supporting negotiated opportunities, Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and two-stage tender processes. Bringing together estimating, engineering and operational expertise to produce compelling work-winning solutions. Imagine sitting alongside the Managing Director and Board discussing which £40m opportunity the business should pursue next not because you ve been asked to price it, but because your judgement will help determine whether the organisation wins it. While the business delivers selected flagship projects elsewhere in the UK, the vast majority of its work remains centred around London, allowing you to work on some of the capital's most prestigious developments while remaining close to the market where your relationships matter most. About You: We're looking for a genuine preconstruction leader. Your career may have started in estimating, engineering or operations. That's not what will define you. Today, you're recognised for your ability to combine technical understanding, methodology, pricing awareness and client engagement into successful work-winning strategies. You'll already be operating at a senior level within a leading RC Frame, Structures & Groundworks contractor, where you've earned the credibility to sit opposite major developers, Tier One contractors and key decision makers with confidence. You understand: How projects should be built. How projects should be priced. How projects should be presented. And ultimately, how projects are won. Existing relationships within London's construction market will be highly advantageous, but equally important is your ability to build trust, communicate with confidence and inspire clients to believe in the solutions you present. The best preconstruction leaders aren't remembered for producing the cheapest tender. They're remembered because clients trust their judgement, believe in their solutions and want to work with them again. That's the calibre of person we're looking for. Salary, Benefits & Career Opportunity: £150,000 - £190,000 basic salary (depending on experience). Performance-related bonus. £10,000 car allowance. Comprehensive benefits package. Reporting directly to the Managing Director and Board. London-based role with regular client and project meetings across the capital. The opportunity to influence the strategic direction of one of the UK's most progressive specialist engineering contractors. Exposure to landmark residential, commercial, industrial, data centre and energy projects. Work alongside highly respected operational, engineering and estimating professionals whose standards are as high as your own. Long-term career security within a business that continues to invest in people, innovation and engineering excellence. Exceptional preconstruction leaders rarely find themselves actively searching for a new opportunity. They're usually too busy helping their current employer secure the next major project. If this advert has caught your attention, perhaps it's because you're ready for a bigger challenge, greater influence and the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the UK's leading specialist contractors. If so, I'd welcome a confidential conversation. STARTDATE 20/07/26 For Website Purposes

Senior Building Surveyor / Employer s Agent Development Monitoring / Recovery & Special Situations London / Hybrid / Remote Senior / Associate Director £65,000 £85,000 + bonus (can go higher for exceptional / Director level hires) If you have spent your career solving difficult construction problems, this could be one of the more interesting roles you will come across. This is not a conventional Building Surveying position. You ll join a highly regarded specialist Development Monitoring consultancy that advises banks and development lenders on construction projects across the UK. An increasing part of their work now involves projects where something has gone wrong and the lender needs considerably more than a standard monthly monitoring report. A contractor may have failed. A developer may be in difficulty. There may be quality issues, health and safety concerns, incomplete works or simply a project where nobody is quite sure what the real position is. That is where you come in. The Role You ll work on distressed, problematic and unusual developments, in London and further afield at times, helping establish what is happening and what needs to happen next. Depending on the project, the work could include: Contract Administration; Employer s Agent duties; Clerk of Works / quality inspections; reviewing building contracts and consultant appointments; assessing defects and workmanship; health and safety monitoring; programme and construction risk; working with contractors, developers, lenders and professional teams; helping establish a practical route through to completion; producing clear written advice for lenders and other stakeholders. Every instruction can be different. You may be brought into a development after a contractor has failed, where work needs inspecting and a completion strategy agreed. On another project, the lender may simply need an experienced technical person to get underneath the information being presented and establish the true position. There is also likely to be an element of Development Monitoring. You don t necessarily need to be an experienced Development Monitoring Surveyor, but an understanding of what Development Monitoring involves or previous exposure to lender-funded development and monitoring work would be highly beneficial. The consultancy s core business is Development Monitoring, so an appreciation of the lender s perspective, risk, reporting and the importance of protecting the funder s position will be valuable. About You The ideal background would be an experienced Building Surveyor or Employer s Agent with broad construction and development experience. Someone who started in Building Surveying and has subsequently moved towards Employer s Agent, Project Management or project delivery work could be particularly well suited. You should understand: building contracts; Contract Administration; construction methodology and sequencing; defects and quality; health and safety; procurement and programme; contractor and consultant responsibilities. Most importantly, you need to be a pragmatic problem solver. This isn t a role for somebody whose experience sits entirely within one narrow specialism. You need enough breadth to arrive on an unfamiliar development, understand the issues, ask the right questions and help determine a sensible way forward. MRICS or MCIOB would be advantageous, with the level of appointment ultimately reflecting your experience. The Opportunity The business already has an excellent reputation in Development Monitoring and is seeing increasing demand from banks and lenders for help with distressed and unusual developments. For somebody from a Building Surveying or Employer s Agent background, it offers the opportunity to use those skills in a very different environment. Instead, the work is varied, senior, client-facing and genuinely problem-led. If the difficult projects are usually the ones you find most interesting, this could suit you extremely well.
