We're looking for three exceptional Senior Preconstruction Managers to join a market-leading design & build business delivering complex, design-led environments across London and the South East who are organically going through another growth phase.

These are high-impact positions for experienced professionals who can lead the front end of projects - shaping design, strategy, and commercial outcomes from RIBA Stage 2/3 through to site handover.

You'll be the face of the business during the bid and preconstruction phase: building relationships, managing cost plans, and steering design and delivery strategy for blue-chip clients and institutions.

• Lead the preconstruction process on multiple fast-track or complex D&B projects ( 5m- 50m+).

• Manage bid strategy, design coordination, programming, and cost control from concept to contract.

• Collaborate with design, commercial, and delivery teams to produce fully coordinated proposals.

• Present schemes and commercial submissions with confidence and clarity to clients and consultants.

• Challenge and develop design solutions to optimise aesthetics, cost, and buildability.

• Maintain and grow key client relationships - representing the business at the highest level.

• Support and mentor Bid Managers, Designers, and Estimators through the process.

• Proven track record leading preconstruction or design management within D&B or main contracting.

• Deep technical understanding of construction detailing, sequencing, and cost.

• Confident presenter with commercial gravitas and strong client engagement skills.

• Adept at managing multiple bids and deadlines under pressure.

• Highly articulate and comfortable in both boardroom and site environments.

• Forward-thinking, collaborative, and driven to raise standards across every project.

You'll join a business renowned for its design excellence and delivery precision - where preconstruction drives the entire process. These roles are built for heavyweights who want to shape high-value projects, influence creative direction, and work alongside the best in the industry.
