We specialise in Education, Aged Care & Retirement Living, Social and Government Housing, Government, Industrial, Corporate and Retail projects up to $20m. Our business is experiencing significant, controlled growth, built on robust client relationships and a reputation for delivering quality outcomes.

Due to growth and a strong pipeline, we are now seeking a Pre-Construction Coordinator/Design Manager to join our Pre-Construction team. This role will suit someone highly organised and detail-focused, who is confident coordinating design-phase deliverables, budgets and stakeholders across the full pre-construction lifecycle.

About the Role

The Pre-Construction Coordinator/Design Manager supports the pre-construction team across the full project lifecycle – from early Design Development through GMP/final estimate and handover to operations – with a focus on Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), tenders, constructability and budget development. Reporting to our Pre-Construction Manager you’ll work closely with our Sales, Bid Coordinator and Estimating teams, focusing on design-phase coordination, cost tracking and pre-construction deliverables.

As a Pre-Construction Coordinator/Design Manager at RCG, your responsibilities will include:

- Supporting ECI and tender design-assist engagements from schematic design through construction documents
- Developing methodologies and programmes for ECIs and tenders, and coordinating constructability reviews to identify cost, schedule or sequencing issues early
- Tracking design milestones and ensuring the pre-construction team has current drawings and specifications at each phase
- Assisting estimators in building and updating conceptual, schematic and GMP-level budgets,



and tracking cost trends between phases
- Documenting design decisions, alternates and value engineering options as the design evolves
- Coordinating with design-assist trade partners engaged during ECI phases
- Preparing materials for owner/architect pre-construction meetings, including budget updates, schedule impacts and open items logs
- Handing over programmes, methodologies and design-phase context (scope clarifications, VE decisions) to the Bid Coordinator and Estimating team to support accurate bid packaging
- Maintaining project drawings, specifications, RFIs and historical cost/lessons-learned data
- Scheduling and chairing design/ECI meetings and site visits, and preparing minutes and action item logs
- Supporting a smooth handover of project information from pre-construction to the project management team
- Maintaining pre-construction files, ECI templates and phase-gate checklists, and reporting to leadership on active pursuits

What We’re Looking For

Key requirements:

- 3-5 years’ experience in construction, design or contract administration
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (particularly MS Project and Excel) and Bluebeam
- Understanding of design phases and how they relate to cost development
- Strong organisational skills and high attention to detail
- Clear written and verbal communication, comfortable liaising with clients, consultants and subcontractors
- A collaborative, proactive approach - comfortable in ambiguous, early-stage project environments and confident chairing meetings with stakeholders

Why Join RCG?

- Great team culture and collaborative environment
- Quarterly team events and business updates
- Friday lunches at our Sydney office
- Annual harbour cruise and other social events
- Exposure to diverse projects across NSW and Victoria
- Opportunities for professional development and long-term career growth
