Pre-Construction Lead

Location: flexible, travel to the Basingstoke office when required

Business Area: Kier Places - Capital Projects

Contract: Permanent, full time


Delivering contracts. Creating communities. Developing careers.


Kier Places are recruiting for an experienced Pre-Construction Lead to join our passionate Capital Projects Team. With our diverse portfolio of projects, we are looking for an individual who has a passion for the project at hand and securing work whilst also being able to work as part of a closely knit team which has an opportunity to develop and control its own destiny. We understand this approach is essential to ensure we consistently win work and secure repeat business.

You will be working on a portfolio of projects predominately involving the re cladding of high-rise buildings. By their nature the works are safety critical and involve significant fire and general safety risk. Typical project values are between £2M and £9M and are of a construction nature. You will be joining a newly formed team specialising in this new workstream which has huge long-term growth opportunity. Successful applicants will have a huge opportunity to grow and develop as this new workstream evolves.


Key Responsibilities

Your role will be key to lead, manage and coordinate the Pre-Construction activities of either two stage or single stage opportunities. You will be expected to lead a small preconstruction team to ensure that various projects are managed effectively. You will ensure that the preconstruction programme and milestones are met; design management is undertaken in a proper and timely manner; commercial proposals are developed in a timely manner; risks are identified, managed and appropriately apportioned; subcontractors and subconsultants are appointed and properly managed whilst also managing relationships with the Client and the appointed professional team.


What do we need from you?

The ideal candidate will have a strong background relating to Cladding, Housing Maintenance, Capital Projects/Works, Residential Buildings, Property Construction, or Minor Works. Whilst expertise in cladding and envelope construction is not essential, successful applicants will need to demonstrate an ability to plan, coordinate and manage either at preconstruction or construction stage whilst also demonstrating a sound construction knowledge.

We encourage flexible working wherever possible in your role - and this may allow you to work from home or from one of our other offices/sites, if appropriate. The cladding team will be based in the Basingstoke office and so frequent travel to that location will be required.


Leave a positive legacy as Pre-Construction Led - start your journey now.


What will you receive?

You can expect a competitive salary and an outstanding package that includes a company car, private healthcare, a matched pension scheme up to 7.5%, 26 days' annual leave (with the opportunity to buy or sell holiday), two employee Share Scheme options, together with additional valuable benefits such as:

  • Free Life Assurance

  • Access to a range of attractive Flexible benefit options to tailor your package to suit your lifestyle

  • Flexible and Agile working (dependent on your role)

  • Employee Assistance Programme

  • Access to Kier Rewards, our exclusive Discount Shopping Site with deals available at over 800 retailers

  • Plus, many more benefits geared to your wellbeing.


Pre-employment checks

It's worth remembering that if you are successful, we'll undertake the relevant / standard pre-employment checks after you have been offered a job. This includes taking up your references, verifying your right to work in the UK, verifying your driving licence (if applicable) and a health assessment.

Due to the nature of this role, you will also be required to complete an Basic Disclosure and Barring Service Check (applicants with criminal convictions will be treated on a case by case basis. We do not discriminate based on an applicant's criminal record or the details of any offences disclosed to us). Some roles may also be subject to further pre-employment checks.

Being part of Kier means living our values of being Collaborative, Trusted and Focused. We all have the potential to shape our world, and it's through these values that we will leave a lasting legacy.
