We're particularly interested in people who have: Strong technical understanding Experience coordinating multiple stakeholders Good knowledge of construction drawings and specifications Experience working with consultants and contractors Excellent organisational skills Strong communication and relationship-building ability A commercial and practical approach to design Confidence dealing with different disciplines The ability to challenge information where required A genuine interest in developing into a senior Design Management role Main contractor experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential for the right architectural candidate. Why Join? This is an opportunity to join a business where you can have a genuine impact rather than simply becoming another person in a large design department. You'll have exposure to senior management, project delivery and commercial teams, while being given the autonomy to develop the Design Management function across your projects. The business has a very collaborative, personal culture, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and long-term relationships. They are continuing to grow and have a clear pipeline of work, making this a particularly good time to join. If you're an architect or architectural professional who feels you've reached the point where you want to move beyond purely design-focused work and take ownership of the construction, coordination and delivery side of projects, this could be a very good next step. If you're an architectural professional looking to make the move into main contractor-side Design Management, we'd be keen to speak with you.

You might currently be working as: Architectural Technologist Architectural Coordinator Project Architect Technical Coordinator Design Coordinator Assistant Design Manager Architectural Designer You may already have some exposure to Design Management but are looking for a business that will give you the opportunity to step up and take ownership. We're particularly interested in people who have: Strong technical understanding Experience coordinating multiple stakeholders Good knowledge of construction drawings and specifications Experience working with consultants and contractors Excellent organisational skills Strong communication and relationship-building ability A commercial and practical approach to design Confidence dealing with different disciplines The ability to challenge information where required A genuine interest in developing into a senior Design Management role Main contractor experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential for the right architectural candidate. Why Join? This is an opportunity to join a business where you can have a genuine impact rather than simply becoming another person in a large design department. You'll have exposure to senior management, project delivery and commercial teams, while being given the autonomy to develop the Design Management function across your projects. The business has a very collaborative, personal culture, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and long-term relationships. They are continuing to grow and have a clear pipeline of work, making this a particularly good time to join. If you're an architect or architectural professional who feels you've reached the point where you want to move beyond purely design-focused work and take ownership of the construction, coordination and delivery side of projects, this could be a very good next step. If you're an architectural professional looking to make the move into main contractor-side Design Management, we'd be keen to speak with you.
Bid Manager Central London Salary: Up to £65,000 depending on experience Location: Central London Type: Permanent Working environment: Office-based The Opportunity We're working with an exciting and growing main contractor based in Central London who are looking to bring an experienced Bid Manager into the team. This is a great opportunity for someone with a few years' experience in bids/tenders who wants to take ownership of the process and have a genuine impact within a business that is on an upward trajectory. You'll be joining a company that has built a really strong team and culture, with ambitious plans for continued growth. It's not a huge corporate environment where you'll become one of 20 people doing the same job, you'll have visibility, responsibility and the opportunity to shape how the business approaches its bids. About the Business The company is an established main contractor with a strong and growing pipeline across London. They have developed a reputation for delivering quality projects and building long-standing relationships with their clients and supply chain. The business is continuing to grow, with an exciting pipeline of work and further expansion planned. The culture is a big part of what makes the company attractive. The team is genuinely close-knit and social, with people who have been with the business for a number of years. They actually make a point of enjoying themselves too; monthly office socials with beers, wine, pizza and plenty of opportunities for the team to get together. It's a business where people know each other, senior management is accessible and your contribution is noticed. The Role As Bid Manager, you'll take ownership of the tender process from initial opportunity through to submission, working closely with the senior management, commercial, pre-construction and operational teams. You'll be responsible for: Managing the end-to-end bid process from PQQ through to final submission Reviewing incoming tender opportunities and assessing suitability Coordinating bid/no-bid processes Managing tender programmes and ensuring key deadlines are met Reviewing tender documents, specifications and employer's requirements Coordinating information and contributions from internal teams and external consultants Working closely with Estimating and Commercial teams Preparing and managing tender submissions Producing high-quality written responses and technical submissions Coordinating method statements, programmes, logistics proposals and supporting information Managing the bid library and ensuring information is accurate and up to date Maintaining a strong understanding of the company's capabilities, previous projects and differentiators Identifying opportunities to improve the quality and efficiency of the bidding process Attending tender interviews and presentations where required Supporting the business development team with client-facing material Maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners Helping to develop and continually improve the company's bid strategy and processes What We're Looking For We're ideally looking for someone with a few years of experience within a Bid Manager / Bid Coordinator / Senior Bid Coordinator position within construction. You don't need to have spent 15 years doing bids. We're more interested in someone who has a good understanding of construction tenders and is ready to take the next step. You should have: Experience within a construction or main contractor environment Strong understanding of the tender process Excellent written and verbal communication skills Strong attention to detail Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines simultaneously Confidence coordinating input from multiple departments Good commercial awareness Excellent Microsoft Office skills A proactive approach and ability to work independently The confidence to communicate with senior stakeholders Main contractor experience would be particularly advantageous. Why Join? This is a genuine opportunity to join a business that is growing and have a say in how the bid function develops. You'll have the freedom to bring ideas, improve processes and build on what's already there rather than simply inheriting a rigid corporate system. The business has a fantastic team culture, with a very social environment and people who genuinely enjoy working together. There's also plenty of opportunity for progression as the company continues to grow, meaning the person joining now has the chance to grow with the business rather than joining an already-established structure with limited room to move. If you're a Bid Coordinator or Bid Manager with a few years' construction experience and you're looking for a business where you can take ownership, develop and grow alongside an ambitious team, we'd be keen to hear from you!
