Pre-Construction Manager

Pre-Construction Manager Shape Projects Before They Break Ground

What if your next role gave you the opportunity to influence major projects from day one? If you're passionate about turning ambitious ideas into deliverable solutions, building strong client relationships, and leading teams through the critical early stages of complex construction projects, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're looking for a confident, commercially minded Pre-Construction Manager to lead projects from initial opportunity through to handover. You'll play a pivotal role in securing new business, bringing teams together, and developing innovative, value-driven solutions that set projects up for long-term success. This opportunity would suit an experienced Contract Manager, Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, or an established Pre-Construction Manager looking to take ownership of major project opportunities before construction begins.

Be the Driving Force Behind Successful Projects

As a key member of the pre-construction team, you'll collaborate with technical specialists, designers, estimators, and operational teams to shape winning strategies and deliver exceptional outcomes for clients across a diverse portfolio of major construction projects.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and managing pre-construction activities across a diverse portfolio of projects.
• Building trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and key stakeholders.
• Coordinating multidisciplinary teams to produce high-quality, competitive proposals.
• Identifying innovative and efficient solutions that maximise value for clients.
• Driving programme, commercial, technical, and risk planning throughout the pre-construction phase.
• Ensuring seamless collaboration between design, commercial, operational, and delivery teams.
• Supporting bid strategies, client presentations, interviews, and negotiations.
• Championing quality, sustainability, innovation, and best practice from concept through to construction.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a pre-construction role it's an opportunity to influence how major projects are delivered from the very beginning.

You'll have the chance to:

• Shape high-profile and technically challenging developments.
• Work alongside talented professionals who value collaboration and fresh ideas.
• Take ownership of complex opportunities from inception to delivery.
• Build lasting client relationships based on trust and outstanding service.
• Join an organisation committed to innovation, continuous improvement, and professional development.
• Enjoy a varied and rewarding role where every project brings a new challenge.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving complex challenges, and leading teams to achieve outstanding results.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience in pre-construction, bid management, project management, or project development within the construction industry.
• Experience delivering or supporting major construction projects, ideally gained with a Tier 1 contractor or within another complex, multidisciplinary construction environment.
• Experience operating at the level of Contract Manager, Project Manager, Senior Project Manager, or Pre-Construction Manager, with the ability to influence stakeholders and lead teams through the early stages of project delivery.
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• A commercial mindset with the ability to balance quality, cost, programme, and risk.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams across multiple workstreams.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the confidence to make informed decisions.
• A sound understanding of modern construction methods, procurement routes, and project delivery.
• A relevant construction qualification or equivalent industry experience.
