PreConstruction Jobs

PreConstruction is where projects are won or lost, and GEDON™ treats this space with the weight it deserves. We specialise in recruiting the people who shape a project before a shovel hits the ground — the planners, cost managers, bid leaders, and early-stage commercial minds who turn a concept into a viable, competitive, buildable outcome. Because we’ve lived inside this discipline for years, we understand how high-stakes and high-tempo it is. Deadlines are tight, inputs are incomplete, and decisions made here ripple through the entire delivery phase.

Our sector knowledge goes beyond job titles. We know the difference between a Pre-Construction Manager who can simply coordinate a bid and one who can strategically drive methodology, programme, risk, and commercial position while aligning designers, estimators, and construction leads. We understand how pre-con varies between property, civil, defence, health, education, and transport — and how resourcing needs change depending on procurement route (EOI, D&C, ECI, alliance, PPP). That knowledge helps us shortlist with precision.

GEDON™ also has a uniquely active network of pre-con professionals because our community overlaps heavily with QS, estimating, and commercial leadership. Many of the best pre-construction people aren’t “on the market” — they’re quietly open to the right challenge. Our ongoing engagement through targeted outreach, thought leadership, and long-standing relationships means we can reach those candidates early, before they hit job boards.

Clients come to GEDON™ when they need pre-con hires that increase win rates, tighten bid governance, and reduce delivery risk. We look for more than software skills or bid history — we assess stakeholder style, strategic thinking, commercial instinct, and the ability to operate under pressure. The result is pre-construction teams that don’t just produce tenders; they produce winning tenders and set projects up to succeed long after award.
