Pre-Construction Manager

We are currently seeking an exceptional person to be a Pre-Construction Manager and responsible for project methodologies and programmes. This role will be based in our Mt Eden office, together with our other front end New Business team members.

The purpose of this role is to manage the bid process on behalf of JFC. The Pre-Construction Manager will be leading the development of bid solutions and associated documentation and pricing to enable JFC to win profitable work.

The Pre-Construction Manager will:

• Apply a strategic and flexible mind-set to develop plans and strategies that maximise our win rate across the pipeline
• Develop a thorough understanding of clients’ requirements and ensure bid documentation is accurate and properly reviewed
• Identify the resources necessary for the bid. Plan and manage these resources and ensure their effective utilisation
• Effectively manage the performance of our partners, possibly including other JFC Business Units, major subcontractors, suppliers, JV partners, and Engineering Design Consultants
• Manage the development of the Cost Estimate for the bid submission. This includes the development of Risk Registers, to provide an assessed risk contingency sum for the Cost Estimate
• Manage the development of the non-price elements, including methodology and programmes of the bid submission and ensure that these are within the scope of the tender requirements and Company management procedures

Working to constrained bid timelines, the Pre-Construction Manager will need to effectively form and lead bid teams comprising staff from the New Business and Operations teams. Key to the success of this role is an aptitude for collaboration with other bid team members, internal and external. Previous people management experience would be advantageous.

Lastly, you will need to be a motivated and positive person. This is a company that prides themselves on their people and you will need to be the kind of person who likes to add value wherever you go.
