Looking to influence projects before they ever reach site?
I’m working with one of the UK’s leading Tier 1 contractors, looking to appoint an experienced Pre-Construction Manager to join a growing Northern team delivering a diverse portfolio of major construction projects.
This is an opportunity to lead bids from initial enquiry through to contract award, working on high-profile schemes across education, healthcare, commercial and aviation sectors.
With a secured order book, long-term framework agreements and a pipeline worth tens of billions of pounds over the coming years, this is a genuine long-term opportunity with excellent career prospects.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of the entire pre-construction process, bringing together design, commercial, planning and operational teams to develop winning tender strategies and commercially robust solutions.
Working closely with clients, consultants and the supply chain, you’ll play a key role in shaping projects long before construction begins.
Typical responsibilities include:
Leading pre-construction and two-stage tender processes
Developing bid strategies and construction methodologies
Managing multidisciplinary bid teams
Coordinating design, planning, commercial and procurement activities
Leading client meetings and tender presentations
Managing programme, risk and governance throughout the bid process
Supporting project teams through to successful contract award

- Major education developments
- Hospital and healthcare schemes
- Commercial office and mixed-use projects
- Airport infrastructure and terminal developments
- New build and complex refurbishment schemes
What They’re Looking For

The ideal person will have:
- Strong construction and project management experience
- Excellent commercial awareness
- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams
- Confidence leading client-facing meetings
- Strong communication and organisational skills
- A collaborative approach with the ability to influence both internal and external stakeholders
