Our client — a long-established and growing civil engineering contractor with a strong brand and decades of successful project delivery — is looking to appoint a Bid Manager to drive the development of high-quality, technically robust and commercially competitive tender submissions. This civil engineering business will consider someone not currently in a Bid Management role, but who is in an onsite delivery role and wants to move into this role.
This isn’t a traditional bid writing role. Instead, you’ll be a key player in the pre-construction process, using your real-world project knowledge to help win work across a diverse portfolio that includes:
-
Windfarms
-
Battery storage facilities
-
Flood and coastal protection schemes
-
Substation projects
-
General civil engineering works
-
Lead and manage the bid process from enquiry through to submission
-
Work collaboratively with commercial, technical, and operational teams to shape content
-
Use your on-site or design experience to develop realistic, deliverable solutions
-
Coordinate submission documents, supported by in-house bid/graphics resources
-
Liaise with clients to clarify requirements and strengthen relationships
-
Support post-tender reviews and continuous improvement initiatives
The business is open-minded on background — whether you come from contracting or consultancy, if you've been involved in pre-construction, design coordination, contract delivery, or project strategy, this could be a great fit.
Ideally, you’ll have:
-
A solid understanding of civil engineering project delivery and commercial dynamics
-
Strong communication and coordination skills
-
An interest in moving away from site delivery into a more strategic, planning-focused role
-
Chartered status is welcomed but not essential
-
Work with a highly respected leadership team and some of the best civil engineers in the sector
-
Join a business with a strong brand and a consistent record of success
-
Step into a pivotal role where your experience shapes the projects you help win
-
Enjoy the support of a collaborative and professional office-based environment
