Pre-Construction Manager

Pre-Construction Manager

We are looking for an experienced Pre-Construction Manager with a strong technical construction background to support the business during the tender and pre-construction stages of projects.

This role will involve working closely with the commercial and delivery teams to prepare high-quality tender submissions, technical documentation and presentations, ensuring that bids are technically robust and well coordinated.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working within the tendering and bid process, coordinating technical information and supporting the wider commercial team during procurement stages.

Role Overview

One element of the role will involve supporting projects procured through Early Contractor Involvement (ECI). This procurement route allows contractors to engage during the design and development phase, contributing expertise around:

• Buildability
• Construction methodology
• Risk management
• Programme planning

It is important to note that ECI is only one stage within certain tender processes, so the successful candidate will also require broader experience supporting standard tender submissions, bid documentation and technical proposals.

Due to the nature of the role, candidates must have strong technical construction knowledge and be confident collaborating with engineers, designers and commercial teams when preparing submissions.

Key Responsibilities

• Assisting with tender processes and bid preparation
• Coordinating and preparing technical tender submissions
• Producing and delivering technical presentations
• Supporting PQQ / PPQ and full tender submissions
• Reviewing design information, buildability and construction methodology
• Supporting ECI stages where applicable
• Working closely with the QS and commercial team during bid and procurement stages

Candidate Profile

We are open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, including:

• Pre-Construction Manager
• Technical Project Manager
• Senior Project Engineer with tender / bid exposure
• Bid Manager or Bid Engineer with strong construction knowledge
• Design Manager with contractor-side experience
• Commercial Manager with strong technical project understanding

Key Requirement

The most important requirement is technical capability. The successful candidate must understand construction delivery and be able to translate that knowledge into clear, well-structured tender submissions and technical documentation.

Position Details

• Full-time position
• Opportunity to play a key role in tender strategy and project development
• Collaborative working environment with commercial and technical teams
