Preconstruction Director – Workplace
Winning work isn’t the challenge. Winning the projects everyone else wants is.
The Shore Group partnering with a market-leading workplace specialist that continues to secure some of London’s most ambitious, design-led office projects.
As demand continues to grow, we’re looking for a commercially sharp, client-obsessed Preconstruction Director who can sit at the front end of major workplace opportunities and turn relationships into revenue.
This is not a back-office estimating role.
This is about influence.
Influencing clients. Influencing design. Influencing consultants. Influencing outcomes.
You’ll lead the pursuit and conversion of major CAT B workplace projects typically ranging from £10m to £30m+, working alongside some of the industry’s strongest design, commercial and delivery teams.
Who Will Love This Role?
You will be:
- Leading major workplace pursuits within a design-led D&B environment
- Running preconstruction for complex commercial fit-out projects
- Driving client engagement, pitches, workshops and bid strategies
- The person clients ask for by name when a key project lands
What You’ll Be Doing
- Owning high-value opportunities from first conversation through to contract award
- Building trusted relationships with occupiers, project managers, consultants and advisors
- Leading compelling bid strategies and client presentations
- Shaping design solutions that win projects, not just price them
- Driving collaboration across design, commercial and delivery teams
- Becoming a recognised face in the London workplace market
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading preconstruction and work-winning activity on D&B workplace projects
- Strong knowledge of commercial office CAT B delivery
- Experience securing projects in the £10m-£30m range
- Exceptional presentation, relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
- Commercial intelligence coupled with strong design awareness
- Natural gravitas and credibility in front of clients, consultants and senior decision-makers
Why This Opportunity?
You’ll join a business that’s already established, highly respected and operating at the premium end of the workplace sector.
No corporate layers.
No being buried three levels down from the decision-makers.
Just the opportunity to influence major projects, build long-term client relationships and become a genuine driving force behind future growth.
