**Job Type:** Permanent, Full-Time

 The Opportunity

Avolon M&E are working with an established and growing building services contractor based in West London who are looking to appoint a Pre-Construction Manager to join their team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Pre-Construction Manager, Bid Manager or Tender Manager who enjoys taking ownership of the tendering process, developing winning submissions and working collaboratively with commercial, operational and business development teams.

Our client is equally open to considering an ambitious individual looking to take the next step in their career, with salary and responsibilities reflecting experience.

The Role

As Pre-Construction Manager, you will take responsibility for coordinating and managing the tender process from initial opportunity review through to submission, tender settlement and handover.

You will work closely with estimating, operations, commercial and sales teams to ensure tenders are commercially competitive, professionally presented and delivered within agreed timescales.

This is a varied position combining hands-on bid writing and tender coordination with the opportunity to influence and improve the company's wider pre-construction processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the tender process from initial Bid/No-Bid decisions through to final submission.
• Coordinate estimating teams and ensure tender information is accurate and delivered on time.
• Prepare and develop high-quality written bids, tender responses and supporting documentation.
• Liaise with operational, commercial and technical teams to gather information for submissions.
• Manage tender programmes, deadlines, clarifications and requests for information.
• Coordinate site visits, tender interviews, tender settlements and project handovers.
• Work closely with Sales & Marketing to develop professional tender presentations, capability documents and client submissions.
• Identify opportunities to improve existing tendering procedures, templates and processes.
• Support the development of commercially competitive bids while maintaining quality and compliance.
• Provide tender progress updates and reporting to senior management.

About You

We are interested in speaking with candidates who have experience in pre-construction, bid management, tendering or estimating within construction or a related sector.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience in a Pre-Construction Manager, Bid Manager, Tender Manager or similar position.
• A good understanding of construction tendering and commercial processes.
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to produce professional tender submissions.
• Experience coordinating multiple departments and managing competing deadlines.
• Good commercial awareness and the ability to understand tender requirements.
• Strong organisational, leadership and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience preparing presentations and tender documents using InDesign or similar software.

• Experience within M&E, building services, engineering, infrastructure or facilities management would be advantageous, although candidates from a broader construction background are encouraged to apply.

We would also welcome applications from experienced Bid Coordinators, Senior Bid Writers or Assistant Pre-Construction Managers who are ready to progress into a more senior position.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary up to £85,000, depending on experience.
• Opportunity to join an established building services contractor.
• A varied role with genuine responsibility and autonomy.
• The opportunity to improve and develop the company's pre-construction and tendering processes.
• Career development opportunities for candidates looking to progress.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
