Job description

About the company

Our privately owned client who is based in Central London is a leading name within the enabling works industry with a group annual turnover in excess of £200M. They undertake technical civil engineering projects throughout the City with values ranging up to £40M and their services include demolition, basement construction, RC frames, temporary works, remediation, earthworks and concrete works.

With a low staff turnover, this contractor, who operates as principal contractor on the majority of their projects, rarely recruits, and this opportunity has arisen purely due to company expansion. Having worked closely with this business for over 10 years, I would highly recommend them to professionals looking to join a forward-thinking contractor that can offer the opportunity to work on large, technical engineering projects in Central London and throughout the UK.

About the opportunity

Due to company expansion, my client is recruiting permanently for a Preconstruction Technical Manager who will be responsible for assisting the preconstruction lead, working alongside preconstruction managers and estimators, to ensure tenders are technically considered and can be successfully delivered by site teams. As a Preconstruction Technical Manager, you will be responsible for producing and giving tender review presentations and leading site walks to better understand and develop tender strategies moving forward.

As a Preconstruction Technical Manager, your role will include, but not be limited to leading the technical development to unlock complex projects; coordinating and managing technical answers and prioritising the overall delivery of the tender programme and solution; producing programmes utilising Asta; supporting PQQ process and providing technical answers to the bid management team; producing temporary works design briefs, creating outline method statements and managing subcontractor quotation teams to deliver best possible deliverable programmes and prices to name just a few duties.

Projects you will be involved on will be valued up to £40M, and these range from top-down demolition to complex cut and carve structures with hydraulic jacking, infilling within retrofit projects and newbuild large towers with deep basements.

About the requirements

To be considered for this opportunity, you must hold an industry-related degree and proven experience of either working onsite as a Project Engineer or Project Manager within RC/Build environments, ideally within Central London (and be keen to move into Preconstruction) or already be operating as a Preconstruction Manager.

Additionally, you must have good presentation skills and the ability to develop construction sequences and programmes of work for the most efficient working methods.

About the benefits and rewards

For this permanent opportunity, my client is targeting professionals looking to earn anywhere from £75,000 - £95,000 per annum; however, the specific salary will depend on experience and suitability. Furthermore, there will be a generous package on offer which includes all travel expenses covered, private health care and enrolment in their pension scheme. Lastly, due to the current team structure and a growing company, fantastic career progression opportunities will be available.
