A well-established London-based construction business is looking for a talented Bid Manager to take ownership of the bid and tender submission process, helping to secure exciting new projects across the capital and beyond.

This position would suit someone with experience in bid management who enjoys combining creativity with organisation to produce standout submissions. A strong eye for layout, branding, and presentation is essential, alongside the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders and manage competing deadlines.

As Bid Manager, you will be responsible for driving the development of the tender process. You will work closely with operational teams, commercial staff, and senior management to gather information, shape key messages, and deliver submissions that reflect the company's strengths and capabilities.

You will oversee the entire process from opportunity identification through to final submission, ensuring all documentation is compliant, accurate, and submitted within agreed timescales.

Responsibilities:

  • Review tender opportunities and assess client requirements, submission criteria, and key project information.
  • Monitor bid deadlines and manage multiple live opportunities simultaneously.
  • Research market trends and industry developments to help strengthen future submissions.
  • Plan and manage bid programmes, ensuring all contributors are clear on responsibilities and deadlines.
  • Produce high-quality tender and proposal documents that are both visually appealing and commercially compelling.
  • Use Adobe InDesign to create professional submission packs, presentations, and supporting marketing material.
  • Liaise with estimators, operational teams, and senior stakeholders to obtain technical and project-specific content.
  • Coordinate the preparation of pre-qualification questionnaires, expressions of interest, tender responses, and presentation documents.
  • Develop engaging written content that clearly communicates the company's expertise, approach, and value proposition.
  • Ensure all documentation is tailored to the client's objectives and evaluation requirements.
  • Contribute ideas and strategies that enhance the overall quality and competitiveness of proposals.

Requirements:

  • Previous experience in a bid, proposals, marketing, communications, or graphics-focused role.
  • Experience gained ideally within the construction, property, engineering, infrastructure, or related sectors.
  • Advanced knowledge of Adobe InDesign and strong document design capabilities.
  • Excellent written English and proofreading skills.
  • Ability to translate technical information into clear, engaging content.

What's on offer:

  • Salary of £50,000 - £60,000 plus package
  • Long-term career prospects within a growing construction business.
  • Exposure to a diverse range of projects and stakeholders.
  • Working in a collaborative and busy team.
  • Opportunity to play a central role in winning new business and shaping future growth.

If you're a creative and detail-oriented proposals professional looking to join a successful construction company in London, we'd love to hear from you.
