Are you an experienced bid writer with a strong track record in construction tenders? Do you relish working on high-value bids and contributing to large-scale growth? We are looking to recruit two Bid Writers to join our Construction Division and help win some of the biggest opportunities in our pipeline.

About the Role

• You will lead the production of high-quality, persuasive bid and tender submissions (PQQs, ITTs, RFIs, etc.) for projects valued between £5 million and £300–400 million.
• You will work alongside estimators, project managers, commercial and technical teams to gather and shape content, ensure compliance, and deliver compelling narrative.
• You will help develop bid strategies, storylines, win themes, and contribute to continuous improvement of our bid processes, templates and content library.

• Experience working on multi-million pound tenders (mid to large scale).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft persuasive, clear, and structured proposals.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage tight deadlines and multiple submissions.
• A collaborative mindset: you’ll engage with stakeholders across the business to gather input, manage change, and present bid content that integrates technical, commercial and programme aspects.
• Familiarity with public sector procurement, frameworks, tender portals or similar processes is highly desirable.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary package: £55,000 to £75,000, dependent on experience.
• Bonus scheme.
