Do you have experience managing construction tenders from initial review through to submission? Are you confident writing bids and developing tender programmes? Do you have pre-construction experience and want to play a key role in the future growth of a business?

This established design and build contractor delivers projects across the UK, specialising in refurbishment and fit-out, particularly within student accommodation.

The ideal candidate will have experience within a construction bid, pre-construction, or project management environment.
