National Pre-Construction Manager

5 days ago

Corio, Victoria, Australia Hanlon Industries Full time

Estimate. Strategise. Lead.

Hanlon Industries is a proudly family-owned Australian company with 25 years of experience in steel and construction. We're seeking a National Pre-Construction Manager to lead the front end of major projects, shaping strategy, guiding estimating, and setting the commercial foundation long before works begin.

In this pivotal role, you'll combine estimating expertise, commercial acumen, and strategic foresight to secure new work and position every project for success. As a key link between clients, estimators, and delivery teams, you'll play a critical role in refining methodologies, driving value for clients, and strengthening profitability across the business.

What You'll Do

  • Lead estimating and tender development for major steel, commercial, and industrial projects.

  • Review detailed cost estimates, analyse drawings and specifications, and identify value-engineering opportunities, including alternative material options where appropriate.

  • Guide and support a team of local and remote estimators, ensuring consistent, accurate, and efficient estimating processes.

  • Collaborate with Estimating, Engineering, and Project Management teams to refine pricing, scope, methodology, and constructability.

  • Oversee bid and tender strategies that align with business goals and commercial targets.

  • Identify and pursue new opportunities to maintain a strong and balanced national pipeline.

  • Review contracts to assess commercial terms, risk allocation, and compliance before execution.

  • Monitor industry trends, competitor activity, and market signals that influence project feasibility and tender positioning.

About You

You're a confident, hands-on professional who thrives on balancing numbers, relationships, and results. You bring estimating expertise and commercial insight to every decision, with the drive to lead from the front and deliver excellence through the entire pre-construction lifecycle.

You'll bring:

  • Proven experience in estimating within the structural steel or commercial construction sector.

  • Strong understanding of pre-construction, tendering, and commercial risk management.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

  • Strategic thinking paired with a practical, solutions-focused mindset.

  • The ability to lead and collaborate across technical and delivery teams.

  • A proactive, opportunity-creating mindset.

Why You'll Love It

At Hanlon Industries, you'll join a national team that values excellence, safety, integrity, and initiative. You'll help shape iconic projects, work alongside industry leaders, and play a key role in driving sustainable business growth.

This is your opportunity to make an impact; to build, lead, and strengthen Australia's future, one structure at a time.
