Senior Pre-Construction Director

Senior Pre-Construction Director UK Logistics, Data Centres & Life Sciences NW London £120,000 + Permanent

Join an ambitious, high-growth technical contractor in a Senior Pre Construction Director role.

This is a role for somebody willing to be the face of pre-construction for a business specialising in high complexity builds namely, purpose-built logistics hubs, mission-critical data centres and cutting edge life-sciences facilities. These are not just routine projects they are the kind of schemes demanding vision, speed, precision and an appetite for winning.

Our client is a UK based technical construction partner operating out of North West London, with a reputation of delivering excellence as standard. They are actively in pursuit of a Senior Leader to own the UK Pre-Construction portfolio in logistics, data centres and life sciences, and take it to the next level.

What you ll bring to the table:

• You are a work-winning pre-construction leader: you understand how to engage senior clients, anticipate their needs, align early design and cost strategy, build the winning bid and then transition smoothly into delivery.
• You have hands-on experience across logistics, data centre and/or life-science sectors (or highly relevant adjacent sectors) and you understand what differentiates a successful, high-velocity commercial build from the rest.
• You are comfortable being client-facing: presenting to the C-suite, building relationships, influencing and negotiating at pace.
• You have solid leadership of the estimating function and associated teams in your remit - ensuring that cost planning, risk, tendering, procurement and design coordination all roll up into a winning bid.
• You are based (or prepared to be based) in and around North West London (office based with travel as needed for UK projects).

Why this role is different:

• You will operate at a senior level with significant autonomy and influence - owning a UK portfolio of critical sectors where the market is strong and the opportunity is clear.
• The company is scaling with confidence and they are investing in growth.
• You will sit at the heart of both bid-winning and strategic positioning - this isn t just a delivery role, it s a proper leadership role.
• The reward will match the responsibility: while the exact salary bracket isn t specified, this client is prepared to pay what is needed to secure the right person.

In short:

This is a chance to take the lead in shaping and winning the next wave of major UK logistics, data centre and life-science projects for a business that is pushing boundaries in technical construction. If you thrive on winning work, building teams, talking to senior clients and shaping strategy - this could be your next defining move.
