Tendering Engineer

Tendering Engineer | Sheffield | £40,000 to £45,000 + strong benefits package

I'm recruiting a Tendering Engineer for a switch gear manufacturer with genuine heritage in electrical engineering, part of a wider group that's been powering the built world for generations.

This isn't a role where you're pricing kit in isolation and firing it off. You'd sit right at the commercial heart of the business, turning incoming enquiries into winning bids across a full range of MV and LV switch gear products, and working shoulder to shoulder with Sales, Procurement, Engineering and Production to land the optimal solution rather than just the cheapest number.

The postholder owns the tender end to end: validating whether there's a viable offer worth chasing, shaping the strategy to improve win rates, reviewing terms and conditions, and negotiating final specifications with contractors, end users and OEMs.

• Developing and preparing commercial and technical offers across the switch gear range to maximise the chance of securing orders
• Assessing and qualifying incoming enquiries, then building the strategy that makes each offer as competitive as possible
• Reviewing tender T&Cs, raising clarifications and exceptions, and agreeing contract specifications with external stakeholders

• A degree or HNC in Electrical Engineering
• A solid technical grounding in MV and LV electrical switch gear, including a real feel for product features and limitations
• Sharp attention to detail, strong organisation, and a proactive, problem-solving attitude

• 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, with flexible and hybrid working
• Life insurance at 4x salary and an enhanced company pension
• Yearly Salary review/raise
• GP24 remote GP access, a 24/7 employee assistance programme, and a real commitment to training and development

Based in Sheffield, paying £40,000 to £45,000 depending on experience, plus a benefits package that actually stacks up. If you know switch gear tendering and want a seat where your bids genuinely move the numbers, worth a conversation.
