About Us

We’re a high-performing, boutique construction company delivering complex, high-end refurbishment and fit-out projects across hospitality, pubs, clubs, and commercial spaces. With a reputation for technical excellence and trust-based relationships, we turn over ~$55M annually and are scaling towards $200M.

We don’t chase cold tenders — we work with people who trust us. Our team is tight, hands-on, and built around a culture of pride in our craft. We’re now looking for a technically experienced Pre-Construction Manager to strengthen our ability to plan and win technically challenging projects — while supporting a more scalable and sustainable delivery model.

About the Role

This newly created role is a game-changer for our business. As Pre-Construction Manager, you’ll lead the front end of our most important projects — shaping construction methodologies, solving complex buildability challenges, and ensuring that every bid we submit reflects our capability, creativity, and commercial strength.

You’ll work closely with our estimators, project managers, and construction managers to bring structure and strategy to how we win work — and bring consistency to how we prepare for delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the development of construction methodology, staging plans, and site logistics — especially in live, operational, or heritage environments

Collaborate with our estimating team to align methodology, prelims, and programme

Interface with architects, designers, engineers, and clients to resolve technical issues early

Write and review submission content for EOIs, RFTs, and negotiated proposals

Attend tender interviews and site inspections as the technical face of the business

Build a methodology and staging library to reduce MD/PM input into tenders

Work with our operations coordinator to improve pre-construction systems and process

About You

Must-Haves:

7+ years of commercial construction experience, with hands-on delivery background

Deep understanding of buildability, sequencing, and structural interfacing

Experience with hospitality refurbishments, structural upgrades, or live site delivery

Strong written communication skills and ability to shape compelling methodology narratives

Familiar with Cubit, Procore, Microsoft Project, and tender programming

Bonus Points:

Design & Construct (D&C) or ECI experience

History of leading successful tender submissions for high-end commercial/hospitality projects

A systems mindset — you like to build repeatable tools and scalable processes

Why Join Us?

No cold tenders – we pursue projects with strong client and consultant relationships

Hands-on leadership – decisions are made fast and your input will shape our growth

Complex, rewarding projects – you’ll never be bored, and your work will be visible

Supportive culture – built on pride, accountability, and real teamwork

Scalable career pathway – as we grow into Brisbane and beyond, so will your role

Sound Like You?

If you’re a technically-minded construction professional who’s ready to step into a strategic pre-construction leadership role, we want to hear from you.
