📍 Middleton, Manchester | 🏗️ Commercial, Education & Leisure Projects
We're recruiting for a Mechanical Pre-Construction Manager on behalf of a forward-thinking, approachable, and well-established building services contractor that specialises in high-quality design & build fit-out projects. With a sweet spot of £250k–£1M and the ability to deliver schemes up to £5M, this is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys early-stage client engagement and shaping projects from the ground up.

* Take briefs and turn them into deliverable D&B solutions, typically for fast-paced 12-week fit-out projects.
* Work closely with clients across commercial, education and leisure sectors.
* Collaborate with the in-house design and project delivery teams post-award.
* Maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders and help build trust through technical clarity and practical advice.
* Be involved in early-stage commercial planning to help ensure margin protection and programme alignment.
What We're Looking For:
* Background in mechanical building services, with experience in pre-construction or estimating roles.
* Strong technical knowledge of design & build fit-out projects.
* Client-facing, commercially aware, and confident discussing feasibility and high-level costing.
* Self-sufficient and proactive, able to manage your workload without micromanagement.
* Ideally familiar with fast-track project timelines and working with a range of public and private clients.
What's on Offer:
💷 £55,000 - £60,000 basic salary
🚗 £6,000 car allowance
💰 Fantastic two-tier bonus scheme:
* One tier for projects you help secure
* Another for those you're involved in delivering
🧠 Autonomy, flexibility, and access to all levels of the business
🚀 Opportunity to have a direct impact on growth and earnings
