About the Company
Our client is a specialist contractor delivering high-quality office fit-out and refurbishment projects across the UK. With a strong pipeline of work and a collaborative pre-construction and delivery team, they are continuing to grow and are now looking to strengthen their Pre-Construction function with a junior hire.
The Role
This is a junior Pre-Construction role supporting the Pre-Construction Manager in the full tender lifecycle, from initial enquiry through to handover to delivery.
The role would suit someone with site-based / delivery experience who is looking to transition into a pre-construction environment, or a junior professional with some estimating or commercial exposure who understands how projects are built.
Delivery knowledge and understanding of the build process are considered more important than pure estimating experience, as cost-based skills can be developed over time.

2. Qualify and review tender enquiries, drawings and specifications
3. Coordinate subcontractor pricing and manage tender information
4. Assist with pricing, benchmarking and value engineering
5. Carry out site surveys and develop scopes of work
6. Prepare and submit tenders to agreed deadlines
7. Attend client meetings and assist with bid presentations
8. Prepare clear handover information for delivery teams
