About the Role

As Pre-Construction Manager, you’ll guide clients through the early stages of workplace transformation — turning vision into a clear, costed and buildable plan before construction begins. Acting as a trusted adviser, you’ll lead the journey from concept through to construction handover, providing commercial clarity, managing risk and ensuring clients feel informed and confident at every step.

• Tendering & market pricing
• Construction handover

What You’ll Do

• Educate clients through a structured design and cost journey
• Manage budgets, programs, approvals and documentation (IFC, permits, NCC compliance)
• Oversee consultant and subcontractor engagement through to handover
• Provide accurate cost reporting and commercial advice
• Collaborate with Sales and Estimating teams on bids and pitches
• Ensure projects transition into construction with clarity and confidence

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ Project Management experience, ideally in a Design & Construct environment in Australia or the UK
• Proven delivery of workplace fit out projects
• Strong commercial acumen and cost planning capability
• Experience guiding clients through multi-stage design and budgeting processes
• Confidence using systems such as Procore, ACC, Excel and MS Project
• Qualifications in Construction or Project Management (preferred)
