Our Building Fabric Pre-Construction team in Scotland is growing, and we are looking for an Assistant Pre-Construction Manager (Passive Fire) to support the delivery of high-quality bid submissions, project pricing, and pre-construction activity across our Edinburgh-based pipeline. Reporting to the Pre-Construction Manager, you will play a key role in turning enquiries into winning proposals — building your commercial and technical knowledge as you go.

This is an excellent development opportunity for someone with a background in passive fire, building fabric, or a related discipline who wants to grow into a commercial pre-construction career in a fast-moving, high-quality business.

• Support the Pre-Construction Manager in the preparation of tenders, quotations, and pricing submissions for passive fire protection works across the Scottish portfolio.
• Carry out take-offs and material quantification from drawings, specifications, and survey information, ensuring accuracy at every stage.
• Assist in the preparation of method statements, programmes, and supporting documentation for tender submissions.
• Liaise with supply chain, subcontractors, and internal teams to gather pricing and technical information required to complete bids.
• Maintain and update the pre-construction tracker, ensuring all live enquiries, deadlines, and submission statuses are accurately recorded.
• Support site surveys and pre-construction visits, developing your understanding of scope and specification requirements on the ground.
• Assist with the handover of won projects to the delivery team, ensuring all pre construction information is transferred accurately.
• Develop your knowledge of passive fire protection systems, industry standards, and compliance requirements.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the pre-construction process, including templates, pricing tools, and submission quality.

• An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
• Experience in a pre-construction, estimating, or commercial support role within passive fire protection, building fabric, or a closely related discipline.
• Ability to carry out accurate take-offs and quantification from drawings and specifications.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills — comfortable working with pricing data, cost summaries, and tender documents.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail — able to manage multiple live bids simultaneously and meet submission deadlines.
• Good communication skills — able to liaise professionally with clients, supply chain, and internal colleagues.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 — particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word.
• Edinburgh-based and available full time.
• Full UK driving licence.
