Competitive salary + Benefits


We are working with a well-established and growing contractor that delivers high-quality commercial environments. Due to continued project wins and expansion, they are looking to appoint an experienced Bid Manager to strengthen their pre-construction team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded professional who enjoys working on design-led projects and wants to play a key role in securing and shaping future work. You'll be involved from the earliest stages of project development, providing commercial insight, cost planning expertise, and tender leadership to support successful project delivery.

The Role
Reporting into senior leadership, you will take ownership of tender submissions and pre-construction activities, ensuring competitive, accurate, and commercially robust proposals are produced.

Key responsibilities will include:
  • Preparing detailed cost plans, estimates, and tender submissions.
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications, and project documentation to develop accurate pricing strategies.
  • Managing the tender process from initial enquiry through to submission and contract award.
  • Identifying commercial risks, opportunities, and value engineering options.
  • Building relationships with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive quotations.
  • Working closely with design, commercial, and operational teams to maintain budget alignment throughout the pre-construction process.
  • Supporting client meetings, presentations, and tender interviews.
  • Monitoring market trends, labour rates, and material costs to inform pricing decisions.
  • Assisting with the successful handover of awarded projects to delivery teams.
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members where required.
About You
  • Previous experience within estimating, pre-construction, bid management, or commercial functions.
  • Experience within interior fit-out, refurbishment, construction, or related sectors.
  • Knowledge of construction contracts, including JCT forms.
  • The ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and estimating/commercial software packages.
What's on Offer?
  • Private healthcare.
  • Pension scheme.
  • Generous annual leave allowance.
  • Expenses covered for project-related travel.
  • Clear opportunities for progression and professional development.
  • Exposure to prestigious, high-profile projects.

  • If you're looking to join a forward-thinking contractor where you can make a genuine impact within a growing pre-construction team, we'd be keen to hear from you, contact Nicky Harris, RGB Recruitment, Exeter.
