Pre Construction Manager

Own the front end. Protect the margin. Shape the project before it reaches site.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of the front end of complex commercial projects, ensuring they're commercially sound, buildable and positioned to deliver strong margins from day one.

Working across commercial, education and modular projects, you'll lead the pre-construction process from feasibility through to handover. You'll work closely with clients, consultants and subcontractors to challenge assumptions, manage commercial risk, influence design outcomes and make procurement decisions that protect profitability.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being involved before site starts. Someone who understands that estimating is only one part of the equation, and that the real value comes from making smart commercial decisions that carry through the life of a project.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Leading estimating and pricing strategy
  • Managing procurement and subcontractor negotiations
  • Reviewing commercial risk and contract conditions
  • Influencing design to improve buildability and commercial outcomes
  • Coordinating consultants and stakeholders through pre-construction
  • Managing the transition from pre-construction into delivery
You'll most likely come from a commercial contractor environment as a Senior Estimator, Commercial Manager, Pre-Construction Manager or Senior Quantity Surveyor with strong front-end responsibility.

More important than your title is your mindset. You're commercially astute, comfortable challenging the status quo and able to balance strong relationships with sound commercial judgement. You understand where margin is won and lost, and you're motivated by delivering projects that are profitable before construction even begins.

In return, you'll step into a role with genuine autonomy, influence and the opportunity to help shape how pre-construction is delivered within a growing commercial contractor. You'll work across a diverse project portfolio with the backing of a collaborative leadership team that values practical thinking, accountability and continuous improvement.
