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.

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!
