Contract: Permanent, full time


Building Futures. Building Teams. Building Careers.


The Capital Projects Team work on refurbishment and new build construction projects across the Blue Light, Health, Education, Retail and commercial sectors with values up to £15 million on a national basis. The activities we undertake range from the design and delivery of complex refurbishment and new build projects up to the value of £15m, where we are able to utilise our team's broad skills base, through to small regional projects for valued customers.

Kier Specialist Services are recruiting for an experienced Pre-Construction Manager 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 key role will be key to 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 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?

Collaborative working with all external and internal stakeholders will be crucial. 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.
