Job Description
Pre‑Tender Planner – Main Contractor – Hertfordshire
New Build & Refurbishment (50/50) | Typical Projects £1m–£5m | Salary £50,000–£70,000 + Car/Allowance
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Pre‑Tender Planner to join a well‑established, privately owned main contractor with a strong pipeline of work across Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas. This role suits someone looking to further their planning career within a stable, supportive business delivering a mix of new‑build and refurbishment projects.
The company works across commercial buildings, education, healthcare, heritage, leisure, community facilities, residential, fit‑outs and specialist refurbishments. Typical schemes range from £1m–£5m, with the wider business capable of delivering projects up to £10m.
You’ll be joining the Pre‑Construction and Estimating team, working alongside two other Planners and supporting Estimators throughout the tender process. There is clear room for progression as the team continues to grow.
The Role
* Producing tender and pre-construction programmes
* Preparing logistics plans, method statements and phasing strategies
* Working closely with Estimators during the tender process
* Assessing buildability, sequencing and construction methodology
* Reviewing tender information and identifying risks, opportunities and key programme drivers
* Supporting design development during pre-construction
* Liaising with clients, internal teams and supply chain partners
* Presenting planning information when required
* Ensuring all planning documentation is accurate and aligned with tender requirements
About You
* 5+ years’ experience in a Planning or Pre-Construction Planning role with a UK main contractor
* Strong experience producing tender programmes, logistics plans and method statements
* Background across both new-build and refurbishment projects
* Able to work independently during tender stages
* Proficient with Asta Powerproject or similar software
* Good understanding of construction methodology and sequencing
* Strong communication and coordination skills
* Full UK driving licence preferred
Why This Role Stands Out
* Join a settled Estimating and Pre-Construction team with two experienced Planners
* A varied workload across new-build and refurbishment projects
* Typical project values of £1m–£5m
* Opportunity to progress into a more senior role
* Hybrid working can be discussed
* Stable business with long-term work secured
Package and Benefits
* Salary £50,000–£70,000 depending on experience
* Car or car allowance
* Mileage
* Private healthcare
* Additional employee benefits
* Clear progression pathway
* Working hours: Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, with some flexibility
