MEP Pre-Construction Manager MEP Pre-Construction Manager required to join a leading main contractor on a landmark 50m mixed-use development. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role during the pre-construction phase of a major project currently progressing through a two-stage tender process. Working as part of the wider pre-construction team, you'll take ownership of the mechanical and electrical elements of the scheme, helping to ensure the design delivers both technical excellence and commercial value. The project is currently operating under a PCSA arrangement, and your focus will be on challenging and interrogating the developing MEP design, working closely with the client, consultants and specialist subcontractors to ensure solutions are practical, buildable and represent best value.

What we're looking for We're keen to speak with experienced MEP professionals who have a strong background in pre-construction, design management or building services delivery within a main contractor environment. You'll have a proven track record working on major projects, ideally within the 50m- 100m+ range, and will be comfortable operating within PCSA and two-stage tender environments. Previous experience reviewing consultant designs, value engineering MEP solutions, engaging with clients and subcontractors, and driving best-value outcomes will be essential. Whether your background is Mechanical, Electrical or Building Services Management, you'll possess the technical knowledge and commercial awareness needed to influence design decisions and challenge unnecessary cost throughout the pre-construction process. What's on offer In return, you'll be joining a well-established contractor with an impressive pipeline of major schemes and a reputation for delivering complex projects across the South East.

We're looking for a highly capable Project Manager to take full ownership of the delivery of the Foul Treatment Plant and Potable Water Plant.

The Opportunity You'll act as the single point of accountability for the successful delivery of the Foul Treatment and Potable Water facilities, leading multidisciplinary teams and managing projects potentially valued from £10m to £100m+. Working within the wider programme, you'll coordinate engineering consultants, construction contractors, commissioning specialists, commercial teams, supply-chain partners and key project stakeholders. This is much more than a traditional Project Manager position. You'll have the opportunity to influence design, construction strategy, commercial performance, programme delivery and commissioning while helping deliver infrastructure critical to the successful operation of project. What You'll Be Doing You'll lead the project from concept through to operational handover, with responsibility for: Managing the design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the Foul Treatment and Potable Water Plants. Developing and delivering the Project Execution Plan. Leading multidisciplinary engineering, commercial, construction and commissioning teams. Managing project budgets, forecasts and expenditure. Driving programme performance and achieving critical milestones. Managing project risks, opportunities, change and interfaces. Overseeing contractor and supply-chain performance. Coordinating civil, mechanical, electrical and process design activities. Leading design reviews, constructability assessments and value-engineering initiatives.

Leading commissioning, integrated testing and operational-readiness activities. Delivering successful handover to operations and asset-management teams. Providing clear project reporting and presenting performance to senior stakeholders. Ensuring delivery meets the rigorous safety, quality, environmental and regulatory standards expected on a nuclear licensed site. What We're Looking For You'll ideally have at least 5 years' Project Management experience delivering complex projects within sectors such as: Water Wastewater Utilities Process Engineering Energy Nuclear Infrastructure Major Construction You should bring: Experience delivering design-and-build projects from concept through construction and commissioning.

Commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets and contracts. Strong stakeholder-management and leadership skills. The ability to solve complex delivery challenges and make confident project decisions. A sound technical understanding of treatment plant, utilities or process infrastructure. Qualifications Ideally, you'll hold or be working towards Chartered status with a recognised professional institution such as ICE, IMechE, IChemE, IET or APM. A recognised Project Management qualification such as APM PMQ, APM PQ, PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent would also be expected. Experience with NEC contracts, commissioning management, environmental management or nuclear quality arrangements would be highly advantageous. Nuclear Experience? It's beneficial - but it doesn't have to define your background. We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced Project Managers who have successfully delivered water treatment, wastewater treatment, utilities or complex process infrastructure and are ready to apply that expertise within a major nuclear new-build environment. Previous experience with Sizewell C, Hinkley Point C, Sellafield, EDF or another major nuclear programme would be a strong advantage. Why This Role?

Senior Bid Manager - Tier 1 Contractor - Civil Engineering - Remote Reporting to: Head of Bid Management As Senior Bid Manager, you will own a portfolio of opportunities from qualification through submission, clarification and post-tender review. You will establish the plan, define responsibilities, manage dependencies and keep operational, technical, commercial and senior stakeholders aligned to clear deadlines. The portfolio is deliberately varied, combining major framework procurements with a high volume of smaller in-framework opportunities. Success will depend on your ability to apply proportionate governance, maintain momentum across concurrent bids and ensure every input, review and final output is complete, coherent and submission-ready. We're a leading, Tier 1 UK contractor working in the water and civil engineering sectors, delivering projects that help improve everyday life. From building pipelines and upgrading pumping stations to maintaining reservoirs and drainage systems, we support cleaner water, stronger infrastructure and more reliable services for communities. Requirements The company are looking for an experienced, hands-on bid professional with the judgement and resilience to manage several opportunities at different stages. You will be accountable for the overall bid process and submission outcome, coordinating diverse contributors, setting expectations and following through on actions. Strong writing and editing skills remain important, but this is first and foremost an ownership role for someone who can create order from complex inputs, keep senior stakeholders engaged and deliver consistently against immovable deadlines. Proven experience managing and delivering bids for a main contractor. Direct UK water-sector bidding experience would be a significant advantage. Candidates without water-sector experience should bring relevant bidding experience from civil engineering, infrastructure or electrical and MEICA contracting. Strong experience controlling concurrent bids through clear programmes, deliverables matrices, action tracking, review schedules and disciplined progress reporting. Experience working as part of a pre-construction team and using informed questions to help operational, technical and commercial specialists develop credible methodologies covering sequencing, resources, logistics, interfaces, constraints and risk controls. Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to secure timely inputs, challenge missed commitments, resolve dependencies and escalate risks early. Commercial awareness and the ability to understand how pricing strategy, programme, contractual obligations, assumptions, exclusions, risk and opportunity influence both the proposed solution and the written submission. Strong Microsoft 365 skills, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams and SharePoint. APMP accreditation or a relevant bid/project management qualification would be advantageous. Direct UK water-sector bidding experience would be a major advantage. We will also consider strong candidates from civil engineering, infrastructure or electrical and MEICA contracting who can demonstrate relevant pre-construction experience and the ability to transfer their knowledge into water-sector solutions. You do not need to be a Quantity Surveyor, engineer or technical designer, but you do need enough commercial awareness and technical curiosity to test assumptions, understand how the proposed solution will be delivered and recognise where programme, cost, risk and contractual considerations affect the bid. You must also know when specialist judgement is required and bring the right people together to resolve an issue.
