The Opportunity

We're looking for three exceptional Senior Preconstruction Managers to join a market-leading design & build business delivering complex, design-led environments across London and the South East who are organically going through another growth phase.

These are high-impact positions for experienced professionals who can lead the front end of projects - shaping design, strategy, and commercial outcomes from RIBA Stage 2/3 through to site handover.

You'll be the face of the business during the bid and preconstruction phase: building relationships, managing cost plans, and steering design and delivery strategy for blue-chip clients and institutions.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the preconstruction process on multiple fast-track or complex D&B projects (£5m-£50m+).

  • Manage bid strategy, design coordination, programming, and cost control from concept to contract.

  • Collaborate with design, commercial, and delivery teams to produce fully coordinated proposals.

  • Present schemes and commercial submissions with confidence and clarity to clients and consultants.

  • Challenge and develop design solutions to optimise aesthetics, cost, and buildability.

  • Maintain and grow key client relationships - representing the business at the highest level.

  • Support and mentor Bid Managers, Designers, and Estimators through the process.


About You

  • Proven track record leading preconstruction or design management within D&B or main contracting.

  • Deep technical understanding of construction detailing, sequencing, and cost.

  • Confident presenter with commercial gravitas and strong client engagement skills.

  • Adept at managing multiple bids and deadlines under pressure.

  • Highly articulate and comfortable in both boardroom and site environments.

  • Forward-thinking, collaborative, and driven to raise standards across every project.


Why This Role?

You'll join a business renowned for its design excellence and delivery precision - where preconstruction drives the entire process. These roles are built for heavyweights who want to shape high-value projects, influence creative direction, and work alongside the best in the industry.

Eden Brown is committed to equality in the workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
