Pre-Construction Commercial Manager

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.

Finance Manager

Home-Based / Remote UK | Potential Future London Attendance

Ready to take ownership of a finance function rather than just one part of it?

We're recruiting a hands-on Finance Manager for a successful and growing business operating within the construction and commercial interiors sector.

This is a broad, practical role with responsibility for the day-to-day finance function. You'll work alongside an existing finance administrator and liaise with external accountants, while taking ownership of everything from management accounts and cash flow to credit control, VAT, CIS and Xero.

It could suit an experienced Finance Manager, but we're equally interested in an ambitious Management Accountant or similar who's ready to step up and take on more responsibility.

The Role

You'll take responsibility for:

  • Preparing monthly management accounts
  • Accounts payable and receivable
  • Credit control and debtor management
  • Sales invoicing and purchase orders
  • Processing supplier and subcontractor invoices
  • Bank reconciliations
  • VAT and CIS
  • Cash-flow reporting and forecasting
  • Month-end processes

This is an SME environment, so we're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on. You'll need to be equally comfortable producing management information and getting into the detail when something needs sorting.

About You

You'll need strong practical finance experience and, importantly, excellent working knowledge of Xero.

You'll probably currently be working as a Finance Manager, Management Accountant, Assistant Finance Manager or in a similar hands-on finance role.

We're particularly interested in someone who is:

  • Confident managing day-to-day finance independently
  • Strong on management accounts, cash flow and credit control
  • Experienced with VAT
  • Familiar with CIS, or able to get up to speed quickly
  • Commercially minded and interested in what sits behind the numbers
  • Organised, proactive and comfortable working remotely
  • Keen to improve processes rather than simply maintain them

Experience within construction, fit-out, interiors or a similar project-based business would be a real advantage, but isn't essential.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to become a key part of a growing business and take genuine ownership of its finance function.

It's particularly well suited to someone who wants more autonomy, more responsibility and greater commercial exposure than they're getting in their current role.

The position 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, but there will be flexibility around frequency and working arrangements.

If you're good with the numbers, confident with Xero and ready to make a finance function your own, we'd like to hear from you.
