Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and own the pre-construction function across London and Portsmouth — managing the full bid lifecycle from initial enquiry, through take-off and pricing, to submission and post-tender negotiation.
  • Produce and sign off high-quality, competitive tender submissions for building fabric and passive fire works, ensuring every bid is accurate, compliant, and compelling.
  • Manage and develop the pre-construction team across London and Portsmouth — setting standards, mentoring APCMs, and building a high-performing function.
  • Work closely with the estimating and design teams to ensure bids are fully scoped, accurately priced, and technically sound.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and specifiers across London and Portsmouth — positioning Harmony as the partner of choice for building fabric works.
  • Manage the live bid tracker for your region, ensuring accurate pipeline reporting and timely submissions across all live opportunities.
  • Support the handover of won projects to the delivery team, ensuring pre-construction information is transferred clearly and completely.
  • Provide market intelligence and client feedback to the senior leadership team — informing pricing strategy, target sectors, and business development activity.
  • Monitor and improve pre-construction processes, tools, and templates to drive efficiency and submission quality across the team.
  • Attend client meetings, site visits, and pre-tender interviews as required, representing Harmony professionally and credibly.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

  • An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
  • Proven experience in a pre-construction or estimating management role within building fabric, passive fire protection, fire doors, firestopping, or a closely related construction discipline.
  • Strong commercial acumen — able to price accurately, manage margin, and identify risk and opportunity within bids.
  • Track record of winning work — experience converting pipeline into won contracts through high-quality submissions and strong client relationships.
  • Experience managing or mentoring a pre-construction team.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — confident engaging with clients, consultants, and senior colleagues.
  • Highly organised and deadline-driven — able to manage a busy bid pipeline without compromising on quality.
  • Proficient in Microsoft 365 — particularly Excel, Outlook, Word, and Teams.
  • London or Portsmouth-based, and available full time.
  • Full UK driving licence.
