The Opportunity
We’re looking for three exceptional Senior Preconstruction Managers to join a market-leading design & build business delivering complex, design-led environments across London and the South East who are organically going through another growth phase.
These are high-impact positions for experienced professionals who can lead the front end of projects - shaping design, strategy, and commercial outcomes from RIBA Stage 2/3 through to site handover.
You’ll be the face of the business during the bid and preconstruction phase: building relationships, managing cost plans, and steering design and delivery strategy for blue-chip clients and institutions.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the preconstruction process on multiple fast-track or complex D&B projects (5m-50m+).
* Manage bid strategy, design coordination, programming, and cost control from concept to contract.
* Collaborate with design, commercial, and delivery teams to produce fully coordinated proposals.
* Present schemes and commercial submissions with confidence and clarity to clients and consultants.
* Challenge and develop design solutions to optimise aesthetics, cost, and buildability.
* Maintain and grow key client relationships – representing the business at the highest level.
* Support and mentor Bid Managers, Designers, and Estimators through the process.
About You
* Proven track record leading preconstruction or design management within D&B or main contracting.
* Deep technical understanding of construction detailing, sequencing, and cost.
* Confident presenter with commercial gravitas and strong client engagement skills.
* Adept at managing multiple bids and deadlines under pressure.
* Highly articulate and comfortable in both boardroom and site environments.
* Forward-thinking, collaborative, and driven to raise standards across every project.
Why This Role?
You’ll join a business renowned for its design excellence and delivery precision - where preconstruction drives the entire process. These roles are built for heavyweights who want to shape high-value projects, influence creative direction, and work alongside the best in the industry.
