Senior Preconstruction Manager - Commercial Fit-Out & Refurbishment

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Preconstruction Manager to join a growing and highly respected Design & Build contractor as they continue to secure larger and more complex projects across London and the South East.

• Driving value engineering exercises and risk mitigation strategies.
• Managing presentations, interviews and contractor proposals.

• Mentoring and supporting less experienced members of the preconstruction team.
• Supporting the business in securing and converting major opportunities.
