- Commercial Strategy & Value Engineering: Analyze project risk, drive value engineering options, and optimize sub-contractor packages during the pre-build stage.
- Hands-On Commercial Management: Manage tender queries, benchmark package costs, draft robust contract documents, and lead pre-let meetings with sub-contractors.
Candidate Requirements
- Main Contractor Track Record: Strong background working directly for Tier-1 or top-tier Main Contractors with steady tenure ("decent stints") on your CV.
- Pre-Construction Scale: Proven track record leading pre-con procurement and cost reporting on commercial schemes.
- Hands-on Expertise: Deep, practical capability in producing CVRs, setting up pre-con budgets, and managing trade procurement from scratch.
- Availability: Ready to start ASAP and commit to a 5-day on-site pre-construction office presence in Holborn.
What's on Offer
- Top-tier day rate (£500 - £550/day DOE) paid weekly via CIS or PAYE.
- Dedicated focus on the high-value pre-construction phase of a major London landmark.
- Clear option to transition to a permanent senior commercial leadership role if long-term fit is established.
To apply, please submit your CV highlighting your pre-construction procurement and CVR experience on Main Contracting projects.
