Mechanical Pre-Construction Manager Central London Full-time Permanent 80,000 + package Some pre-construction roles are heavily administrative and sit too far away from the actual projects. This is not one of them. This position sits right in the middle of the work winning, technical and operational side of the business, working closely with the Pre-Construction Director and alongside the Design Manager to help shape how projects are secured, planned and ultimately delivered. The company is an established building services contractor with a strong reputation across high-spec commercial fit out and refurbishment projects throughout Central London. Their work is heavily focused around CAT A and CAT B office environments, delivering technically demanding mechanical installations within live buildings and fast-paced programmes. They are looking for somebody who understands that strong pre-construction is not simply about pricing a job correctly. It is about understanding delivery strategy, identifying risk early, coordinating design and operational input, and helping create confidence with both clients and consultants before projects ever reach site. The role would suit somebody already operating within pre-construction, estimating or project engineering within the building services sector who wants broader involvement across the full front-end process rather than being boxed into one discipline. You will work directly under an experienced Pre-Construction Director whilst collaborating closely with the Design Manager and operational teams, giving you exposure to the full lifecycle of major commercial fit out projects and a clear route for long-term progression.
