Home-Based / Remote UK | Commercial Interior Fit-Out

Tendering. Pricing. Procurement. Commercial strategy. Then hand over a project that's ready to deliver.

We're recruiting a Pre-Construction Commercial Manager for a successful and growing business specialising in high-quality commercial interior fit-out.

This isn't a role managing the commercial side of live construction projects.

Instead, you'll take ownership of the commercial pre-construction process, working on opportunities from tender receipt through pricing, procurement and commercial assessment before handing a robust, properly bought project across to the delivery team.

It's a great opportunity for an experienced pre-construction professional or a commercially strong Estimator, Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager who wants to move into a broader pre-construction role.

The Role

You'll be involved from the point an opportunity lands, taking responsibility for:

  • Managing the pre-construction process from tender through to project handover
  • Reviewing tender documentation, drawings and specifications
  • Pricing and commercially assessing opportunities
  • Procuring subcontractor, supplier and specialist packages
  • Obtaining, analysing and negotiating quotations
  • Building and maintaining strong supply-chain relationships
  • Preparing tender submissions and commercial assessments
  • Producing client valuations where required
  • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
  • Developing value-engineering options
  • Preparing procurement schedules aligned with project programmes
  • Ensuring projects are commercially robust before moving into delivery
  • Working closely with the delivery team to ensure a smooth handover

About You

We're looking for someone with a strong commercial grounding in construction and experience across tendering, estimating, procurement or pre-construction.

You may currently be a:

  • Pre-Construction Manager
  • Estimator / Senior Estimator
  • Quantity Surveyor
  • Commercial Manager
  • Procurement Manager

Your current job title matters less than your ability to understand a tender, build the numbers, procure the right packages, negotiate commercially and get a project ready to deliver.

Experience within commercial interior fit-out, refurbishment or a closely related sector would be a significant advantage.

You'll also need to be commercially sharp, a confident negotiator, highly organised and capable of managing several tenders and priorities simultaneously.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be managed.

The Opportunity

You'll join an established, growing business where pre-construction has a direct impact on both winning work and delivering it profitably.

There's scope to make the role your own, develop strong relationships across the supply chain and play an important part in the company's continued growth.

The role is currently home-based and candidates can be located anywhere in the UK. There may be a requirement for some attendance at a London office in the future, with flexibility around frequency and working arrangements.

If you know how to turn a tender into a commercially sound, properly procured project that's ready to hit the ground running, we'd like to hear from you.

Technical Sales Manager
You'll take technical problems our customers can't solve themselves and turn them into bespoke engineered solutions worth tens of thousands of pounds.

We design and manufacture custom industrial equipment for manufacturing and heavy industry customers across the UK. Every project is different, every solution is engineered from scratch, and you'll own the entire sales process from first conversation to signed order.

What you'll earn:
• £60,000 basic salary
• £80k OTE
• Company car
• Hybrid working (typically three days per week at our Midlands office, the rest from home or on customer sites)

What you'll do:
• Manage the full sales cycle from initial enquiry through to order
• Visit customer sites to understand their application and technical requirements
• Work with our design, engineering and estimating teams to develop commercially viable solutions
• Develop existing customer relationships and convert an established pipeline of opportunities
• Generate new business and open doors with manufacturing and industrial prospects
• Handle deals that range from quick-turnaround projects to longer, consultative technical sales

Deal size and complexity vary. Some opportunities move quickly; others need a more considered, partnership approach.

What we're looking for:

Essential:
• Proven technical sales experience selling bespoke, engineered or application-led solutions (not catalogue products)
• A background selling into manufacturing or industrial customers
• Comfortable visiting sites, diagnosing customer problems and collaborating with technical colleagues to design and cost a solution
• Commercially sharp and confident generating new business, not just managing existing accounts
• Able to commute to our Midlands office around three days per week

Nice to have:
• Experience in fabrication, material handling, industrial equipment, racking and storage systems, capital equipment or similar engineered products (but we care more about how you sell than an exact product match)

About us:
We're an established UK engineering business with a strong pipeline already in place. You'll inherit live opportunities from day one, but there's plenty of scope to make your own mark and grow the business further.

Technical Sales Manager

If your idea of technical sales is picking a product from a catalogue, this probably isn't the role for you.

We're recruiting for an established UK engineering business that designs and manufactures bespoke engineered solutions for industrial and manufacturing customers.

They are looking for an experienced Technical Sales Manager who can understand an application, get under the skin of what the customer actually needs and work with internal technical and design teams to develop the right solution.

You'll inherit an active pipeline of opportunities, but this certainly isn't an account management role.

You'll be expected to develop existing customers, convert current opportunities and create new business of your own.

The Role

You'll manage the complete sales process from initial conversation through to order, including:

  • Developing new and existing manufacturing and industrial customers

  • Taking over and converting an established pipeline

  • Visiting customer sites to understand applications and requirements

  • Turning customer problems into commercially viable technical solutions

  • Working alongside design, engineering and estimating teams

Deal values and sales cycles vary considerably. Some opportunities can move relatively quickly, while larger or more technically involved projects require a more consultative approach.

What We're Looking For

The key is your technical sales background.

You'll need experience selling a bespoke, engineered or application-led solution into manufacturing or industrial customers.

We'd particularly like to hear from people with experience around:

Fabrication | Material Handling | Industrial Equipment | Racking & Storage Systems | Engineered Products | Capital Equipment | Manufacturing Solutions

However, we're more interested in how you sell than an exact product match.

If you're accustomed to visiting a customer, understanding an application and working with technical colleagues to design, cost and sell a solution, your background could fit extremely well.

You'll also need to be commercially sharp and comfortable generating new business rather than simply servicing existing accounts.

The Package

Circa £60,000 basic salary
Excellent OTE
Company car
Hybrid working

You'll typically spend around three days per week at the Midlands office, with the remainder working from home or visiting customers, so you'll need to live within a sensible commuting distance.

This is a great opportunity to join an established engineering business where there is already plenty happening, but still considerable scope to make your own mark.
