At Valeo Construction Group, we're redefining what's possible in commercial and residential construction. As we continue to expand across a dynamic pipeline of high-quality developments, we're looking for an experienced Pre-Construction Projects Manager to take the lead in managing and coordinating all early-phase project activities, whilst managing key multidisciplinary professionals in areas of design, estimating, contract administration.

If you're a solutions-focused professional with a passion for bringing structure, clarity and momentum to complex builds, this role offers the platform to make a real impact—right from the start.

About the Role

As Pre-Construction Projects Manager, you'll be the central point of contact for all Valeo projects during the pre-construction phase—ensuring feasibility, compliance, and readiness before handover to delivery teams. You'll collaborate closely, lead and manage team members in design, estimating, contract administration and work closely with production departments to set up each project for success.

  • Review and advise on head contracts, scopes, specifications, and design documentation
  • Facilitate stakeholder engagement, including consultants, clients, and relevant authorities
  • Support contract negotiations and ensure execution of consultancy agreements
  • Lead tender handovers and assist with buildability reviews and cost planning
  • Prepare and track project documentation including cash flows, programs, and pre-construction checklists
  • Assist production teams with contract administration and project kick-off activities
  • Collaborate with finance and legal teams on project pipeline reporting, insurances, and securities

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated experience in pre-construction/project management within the commercial and/or residential construction sectors
  • Solid understanding of head contracts, legal frameworks, and pre-construction workflows
  • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills to lead and manage a team of multidisciplinary professionals
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet key milestones
  • Strong attention to detail and a solutions-oriented approach
  • Comfortable working across diverse teams and liaising with external stakeholders and consultants
  • Strong commercial acumen and understanding of project cash flow and program delivery

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • 24-hour response time for stakeholder communication
  • On-time delivery of pre-construction milestones
  • Timely execution of conditions precedent and consultancy agreements
  • Support seamless project handovers to construction teams within a 16-week benchmark
  • Contribution to client satisfaction and head contract win rates
