Our Team
Associate Director and Head of Pre-Construction
Introducing our accomplished Head of Pre-Con and Associate Director, Keith Miller. Keith is one of our longest serving team members, managing new client opportunities here at COEL.
Following travelling around Australia after my school years, I set up as decorator, working for many contractors across Cambridge, London and within the East of England region. COEL then offered me the opportunity to join the team full-time and from there I gained experience in being a Site Manager, Project Manager and Estimator, before moving up to Head of Estimating.
Fulfilling so many core job roles at COEL has enabled me to confidently and accurately manage full design and build office and lab projects, through to commercial fit-outs and smaller refurbishment projects within pre-construction.
As a big family man, I am both loyal and hardworking, and my commitment is not only seen at home but also in the quality of work and dedication to clients in achieving their workplace vision.
It’s all about family time, DIY and Pike fishing. I’m also a big Britpop fan and can be seen enjoying a spot of wildlife photography when I get a chance.
Keith is responsible for qualifying incoming design and build opportunities, and then managing the full tender submission process with his team. This pre construction process includes liaising and managing project communications with clients, as well as external consultants and our wider COEL design and estimating teams. In addition to his own bid management activity, he manages his department’s workload resource, ensuring efficiency and transparency, in order to provide the best possible service.
