Pre-construction Manager
About the Company
I’m working with a well-established fit-out and refurbishment contractor based in Central London who deliver a range of high-quality commercial and workplace projects across the capital and South East. With a strong reputation for delivering projects up to £10m in value, this business is recognised for its client-focused approach, collaborative culture, and consistent pipeline of negotiated work.
They have built a team that values innovation, precision, and pride in what they do – and due to sustained growth, they are now looking to strengthen their pre-construction department with the appointment of an Intermediate Pre-Construction Manager.
About the Role
As the Pre-Construction Manager, you’ll support the Head of Pre-Construction in coordinating bids and managing the front-end delivery process. You’ll be involved from initial enquiry through to handover to delivery teams – working closely with estimators, design managers, and project leads to ensure a smooth and professional tender process.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step up from an Assistant Pre-Con Manager or Estimator position into a more rounded role with greater responsibility and client exposure.
Key responsibilities include:
*
Managing pre-construction programmes and tender submissions.
*
Coordinating design information, consultant input, and buildability reviews.
*
Attending client meetings and supporting bid presentations.
*
Working closely with internal estimating and delivery teams to ensure accurate project proposals.
*
Maintaining strong communication with clients and key stakeholders throughout the pre-con process.
You’ll be based out of their modern Central London office, with flexibility to work from home one day per week.
Rewards and Benefits
*
Competitive salary up to £65,000, depending on experience.
*
Annual bonus scheme and regular salary reviews.
*
Private healthcare and pension contribution.
*
One day working from home each week.
*
Opportunity for continued professional development and career progression.
*
A collaborative working culture within a respected, growing business.
Requirements
*
Minimum 4–6 years’ experience within a fit-out, refurbishment, or main contracting environment.
*
Strong understanding of pre-construction processes – ideally gained from a bid coordination, estimating, or design management role.
*
Excellent communication and organisation skills, with confidence managing multiple tenders at once.
*
A genuine interest in commercial interiors and delivering projects of quality and detail.
*
Degree qualified (or equivalent) in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or a related discipline
