You may currently be a: Pre-Construction Manager Estimator / Senior Estimator Quantity Surveyor Commercial Manager Procurement Manager Your current job title matters less than your ability to understand a tender, build the numbers, procure the right packages, negotiate commercially and get a project ready to deliver . Experience within commercial interior fit-out, refurbishment or a closely related sector would be a significant advantage. You'll also need to be commercially sharp, a confident negotiator, highly organised and capable of managing several tenders and priorities simultaneously. Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be managed. The Opportunity You'll join an established, growing business where pre-construction has a direct impact on both winning work and delivering it profitably. There's scope to make the role your own, develop strong relationships across the supply chain and play an important part in the company's continued growth. The role is currently home-based and candidates can be located anywhere in the UK. There may be a requirement for some attendance at a London office in the future, with flexibility around frequency and working arrangements. If you know how to turn a tender into a commercially sound, properly procured project that's ready to hit the ground running, we'd like to hear from you. Coburg Banks Limited is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
