Pre Construction Project Manager

Reporting to a Preconstruction Manager, the successful person will essentially manage the preconstruction bid process, project managing both internal and external resources to deliver successful bids, on time and to the highest quality. You will also ensure our customers’ expectations are managed and, wherever possible, exceeded.

• Coordinating inception workshops with our customers and using your proven listening skills to ensure we truly understand our customers 'Why', gaining vital information that will enable your bid team to go the extra mile.
• Motivating and leading a bid team that includes both internal (estimators, design professionals, MEP professionals and planners) and often external (supply chain and consultants) resource.
• Maintaining continuous professional development of yourself and your team to ensure appropriate technical awareness, implementing best practices and driving continuous improvement.
• Working closely with your team to develop the commercial strategy.
• Maintaining a ‘one team’ approach throughout to create a seamless transition from preconstruction to operations.
• Ensuring regular monitoring and reporting on progress, managing potential risks and opportunities, and instigating pre-emptive and corrective actions as required.
• Developing and incorporating project strategies to achieve the company’s sustainability objectives.
• Managing the customers’ expectations through informal and formal ‘health checks’, adopting a professional and considerate approach to maintain good working relations.

Experience in managing diverse technical input, understanding complex construction schemes and leading the bid process will help you thrive in this role. If you have previously worked in a construction technical role, including but not limited to Operations, Planning, Commercial, Design or Estimating this will help you hit the ground running.
