Job description

Pre-Contracts Manager – Mid-Weight

Location: Farringdon

Salary: £65,000 – £80,000 + 1% GP + Benefits

I’m working with a design and build firm turning over £18m, delivering commercial fit-out projects from £250k up to £3m. They’ve built a strong name in the market and are now growing their pre-con team ahead of a move into a brand-new office.

They’re looking for a Mid-Weight Pre-Contracts Manager to lead tenders, manage bids, and work directly with clients and consultants to win work. You’ll be involved from initial enquiry through to handover, working closely with the design, commercial and delivery teams to ensure everything is aligned.

You’ll need to be confident leading £1m+ tenders, managing multiple bids at once and presenting to clients. There’s progression here — the plan is to move into a Senior role within 12–18 months as the team scales.

What’s on offer:

1. £65k–£80k + 1% of GP on every project won
2. Brand new office environment and growing team
3. Projects across tech, media, and finance sectors
4. Fast-track route to a senior role

Requirements:

1. 3+ years’ experience in Pre-Contracts within D&B or fit-out
2. Experience with tenders between £250k–£3m
3. Confident presenting and managing multiple bids
4. Commercially minded with strong design coordination knowledge
5. Able to build and maintain key client relationships

If you’re ready to step up and want to be part of a business on the rise, this could be your move.
