Job description
A rare opportunity to join a Principal Contractor as Head of Pre-Construction. This is a newly created position, reporting directly to the Managing Director.
You will be responsible for managing all pre-construction activities for projects, including the estimating function.
Annual revenue is approximately £50M, with project values ranging from £500K to £30M. The company's revenue has grown consistently and organically and is expected to continue this trajectory.
As mentioned earlier, this is a new position within the company, allowing you to bring your own strategy and approach to the role, introduce and implement suitable systems and processes, and build these from the ground up.
You will primarily work from home, although there will be an expectation to spend time in one of two main offices on a weekly basis (one in the South East and one in the Midlands).
A true specialist with already secured future revenue, the company is in the enviable position of being selective with its tenders. They have a proven track record of engaging clients early, supporting ECI processes, winning projects through alternative technical proposals, and negotiating contracts.
Their client list spans numerous public and private sector end clients, some of whom they have worked with for several decades, as well as several household-name Tier One Main Contractors.
Responsibilities:
To be successful in this role, it is thought that:
In return, you will be offered a salary of 90,000 - 100,000 per annum along with a generous benefits package which will includes a generous car allowance, annual discretionary bonus, matched DC pension and 25 days holiday.
If you are interested in hearing more about this position, then please feel free to contact us on 0203 998 7667 and ask for Rob or Lina. Alternatively, feel free to apply via the link along with a copy of your CV, which doesn't have to be up to date. We will endeavour to contact all applicants.
