An award winning main contractor with a win ratio of 1 project won for every 1.7 bid, working on both new build and refurbishment projects across London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex requires an experienced Bid Manager to join their growing business with the career opportunity to become the Director of Pre-Construction.Career opportunities.We are not looking for somebody who is the “finished article”, we are looking for somebody who wants to develop both their skills as an a Bid Manager and wants to see their career move into a Directors role within 3 years to 5 years when the current director retires.The CompanyIt is a very team orientated, family focussed company and rather uniquely the company is run as an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) which in effect means all employees have shares in the company and receive a share of the profits via a dividend each year and because it is via an EOT the first £3,600 is tax free.It is a company that genuinely sees people as their greatest asset and as such they have picked up awards in Leadership & People Development at the Constructing Excellence awards, won NFB Employer of the Year and are recognised as having reached the Platinum standard when it comes to Investors in People. These are just some of reasons why the average length of service is 17 years and the staff turnover rate is just 1.8% PA.Type of work : Project wise they are very diverse in what they do and how they build things. Current examples consist of hospitals, commercial, schools and high-end residential works using traditional build, steel frame, concrete frame and modular forms of construction. What they don’t do is mass housing.Annual turnover is £46m and project values typically range between £6M and £14M which are secured either via one of the 5 frameworks they are on or their traditional client base which has a high level of repeat business.As well as expanding the business via doing more projects it is also an exciting time to be joining the business as they look to expand their service offering to clients. They are developing their own inhouse design team and making extensive use of BIM and where they design and build the project out they will also offer the client an FM service as well. In conjunction with that offering they are also working with the University of Kent on a knowledge transfer partnership where they will look to see how the design and use of the building affects the performance of the people inside. The goal is to offer a bespoke service to clients where they can prove that effective design and construction leads to a reduction in their carbon foot print, improves staff or pupil performance and reduces costs.Desired Knowledge and ExperienceClearly they are looking for an experienced Bid Manager who has managed a team of estimators and bid writers previously and has experience of winning similar kinds of projects. While their success is hard won it has come about because they have invested in hiring people with a passion for construction and who buy into an ethos of teamwork.The role of Bid Manager is varied but as a brief summary the role will involve you working with the head of preconstruction when deciding which tenders to go for and then :

• Leading and co-ordinating the team during the tender processes
• Developing and mentoring your team
• Working closely with clients, design consultants, suppliers, project managers, etc
• Identify areas of risk and opportunityIn return : My client pays a market leading base salary along with a car allowance, pension, 34 days holiday (inc the 8 days bank holiday) and a dividend each year. You will also have the flexibility to work from home as well as from the office. You will also be supported in your own development to make sure you are ready to become the Pre-Construction Director in due course.What you need to do nowIf you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV.
