This role suits someone proactive, hands on, and confident working closely with estimators, coordinators, and operational teams in a friendly and collaborative office. With clear progression into Bid Management, you’ll have the opportunity to help rebuild and strengthen the work winning function during a period of positive change. The package includes a £60k base salary, £6k car allowance, hybrid working for the right person, 25 days’ holiday plus additional days after time served.
