Bid Manager, Business

Bid Manager | up to £70,000 + package | Hertfordshire | Main Contractor | Permanent

A lot of Bid Manager roles look the same - this one offers something a little different. The business in question is a well-established contractor with a strong reputation across a range of sectors including education, healthcare, heritage, residential, public buildings and leisure. Their projects typically range from £1m to £6m in value, although larger schemes are not uncommon, and much of their work is secured through long-standing client relationships and established framework agreements.

• Writing and developing high-quality tender responses.
• Researching and gathering technical information to support submissions.
• Producing presentations for tender interviews and client meetings.
• Creating bespoke bid documents, case studies and CVs.
• Supporting framework and pre-qualification submissions.
• Maintaining and improving bid library content.
• Contributing to wider marketing and business development initiatives.

What makes the role particularly interesting is the level of exposure available. The business is keen to meet somebody who wants to progress their career rather than simply maintain the status quo. Whether your ambition is to take ownership of larger bids, become more involved in bid strategy or broaden your involvement within pre-construction, there is genuine scope to do so.

The ideal candidate will already have experience within a construction bid environment and possess strong written communication skills, excellent organisation and the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously. Experience using InDesign would be advantageous, as would a good understanding of construction procurement and tendering processes.

Most importantly, they are looking for somebody who is curious, proactive and keen to make a meaningful contribution to a growing team.
