We are working with a progressive and growing M&E contractor that delivers high-quality Design & Build projects across the commercial, education, and leisure sectors. With project values typically ranging between £250k and £1m (and up to £5m), they are now looking to hire an Electrical Preconstruction Manager to shape the front-end process and guide clients through the early stages of their projects.

• Liaise with internal design and project management teams once projects are secured.
• Typically work on fast-paced D&B fit-outs with durations of around 12 weeks.

What We Are Looking For:

• Strong background in electrical building services, ideally within preconstruction or estimating roles.
• Excellent communication skills with confidence to advise clients directly.
• Understanding of design & build methodology, especially for commercial, leisure, and education projects.
• Ability to work autonomously within a collaborative, open, and non-hierarchical environment.
• Commercial awareness with the ability to identify value engineering and design efficiencies.

What’s on Offer:

• Basic salary of £55,000 - £60,000
• £6,000 car allowance
• Two-tiered bonus scheme:
• Tier 1: Bonus for projects you help bring in
• Tier 2: Bonus for projects you oversee through preconstruction
