Job Description

Pre-Construction Lead\n
\nLondon\n
\n
\n£100k - £120k + above-industry commission\n
\nI’m working with a London-based design and build fit-out business who are looking for a Pre-Construction Lead to take charge of projects from £1m to £8m across both Cat A & Cat B.\n
\n
\nWe’ve worked with this business a lot over the last couple of years, so we know the pre-con team, how they operate and the type of projects they deliver. They’ve got a great culture, a really nice office and some brilliant projects going through the business.\n
\n
\nThey’re off to a great start this year and need someone who can come in, manage multiple projects and lead from the front.\n
\n
\nDay to day, you’ll take the reins on multiple projects through pre-con, from pitching and costing through to negotiating contracts and dealing with the supply chain. You’ll be the person driving the process, keeping everything moving and making sure the team are putting their best foot forward on every opportunity.\n
\n
\nThis isn’t just about managing your own workload either. They want someone who can naturally start to lead the wider pre-con team, get the best out of good people and help continue to improve how they operate.\n
\nThe progression is probably the biggest selling point. \n
\n
\nWhether it happens straight away, once you’ve settled in or after you’ve had time to get up and running, there’s a clear route into a Head of Pre-Construction position. They want someone who can grow into managing the team rather than bringing somebody in above them further down the line.\n
\n
\nWhat they’re looking for: \n
\n• Strong pre-construction experience within commercial fit-out \n
\n• Experience across both Cat A & Cat B projects \n
\n• Comfortable running multiple projects between £1m and £8m \n
\n• Confident pitching and presenting to clients \n
\n• Strong costing and commercial understanding \n
\n• Experience negotiating contracts \n
\n• Good relationships and understanding of the supply chain \n
\n• Someone who can lead from the front and get the best out of a strong team \n
\n• Ambition to step into a Head of Pre-Construction role\n
\n
\n
\nWhat’s on offer: \n
\n
\n• £100k - £120k + above-industry commission \n
\n• Clear route to Head of Pre-Construction \n
\n• Cat A & Cat B projects from £1m to £8m \n
\n• A strong pipeline with the business already off to a great start this year \n
\n• A pre-con team we know well and rate highly \n
\n• Brilliant projects with a well-established London fit-out business \n
\n• Great culture and a genuinely nice working environment\n
\n
\nIf you want to work with a great team, deliver some brilliant projects and have a genuine route to eventually managing that team and getting the best out of them, this is worth a chat.\n
\n
\nLet me know if you’d be up for one.
