SENIOR PRECONSTRUCTION MANAGER Madrid, Spain Build the projects before they exist. Some people manage construction. Others shape projects before a single subcontractor is appointed, a budget is signed off, or a shovel hits the ground. At Unispace, we're looking for a Senior Preconstruction Manager to lead the commercial, technical and strategic planning of high-profile workplace and commercial interior projects across Spain.
