Job description

Can you turn technical information into compelling, client-focused content that wins work? Are you a confident writer, editor and coordinator who thrives under deadlines and enjoys bringing together ideas from a range of stakeholders?

At Seymour Whyte, we're looking for an experienced Submissions Manager to join our National Pre-Contracts team in Brisbane. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in securing some of Australia's most significant infrastructure projects by creating high-quality submissions that showcase who we are and what we do best.

About The Role

As a Submissions Manager, you'll lead the preparation, coordination and delivery of tender submissions, expressions of interest, award submissions and other business development materials. You'll collaborate with technical experts, project teams and business leaders to develop persuasive, well-structured submissions that are professional, compliant and tailored to client requirements.

No two days are the same. One day you might be leading a tender kick-off workshop, and the next you're shaping a winning project story, mentoring junior team members or developing innovative ways to improve our submissions process.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing the end-to-end development of tender submissions, EOIs and award submissions
• Coordinating input from technical, operational and commercial stakeholders
• Writing, editing and refining content to ensure it is clear, compelling and client-focused
• Ensuring submissions are delivered on time, to a high standard and without errors
• Producing marketing collateral, corporate content and communication materials
• Maintaining and improving submission content libraries and knowledge management systems
• Supporting, mentoring and onboarding junior team members
• Driving continuous improvement in submission strategy, content and presentation

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who combines exceptional writing ability with strong project coordination skills.

You’ll Ideally Bring

• Extensive experience preparing and managing submissions, tenders or complex documents
• Outstanding writing, editing and proofreading skills
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to quality
• The ability to translate technical information into engaging, easy-to-understand content
• Experience working across multiple deadlines and competing priorities
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and Adobe InDesign
• Experience within construction, engineering, infrastructure or a similarly complex industry would be highly regarded

Why Seymour Whyte?

At Seymour Whyte, you'll join a collaborative and supportive national team that genuinely values creativity, innovation and continuous improvement. You'll have the opportunity to work on major infrastructure projects that help shape communities across Australia while building your own career with a business backed by the global strength of VINCI.

We believe great submissions are about more than compliance. They're about telling innovation, compelling stories, and creating winning outcomes.

If you're a talented writer who enjoys bringing people, ideas and opportunities together, we'd love to hear from you.

Seymour Whyte Benefits

• Generous bonus programs linked to individual and business performance
• Salary continuance insurance provided to eligible employees
• Generous parental leave supported by the Parental Support Toolkit
• Purchased leave (up to four weeks) for flexibility across life commitments
• Vehicle salary sacrifice and EV novated leasing options
• Corporate health insurance discounts and EAP mental health support
• Fitness & wellbeing discounts through WHEREFIT (gym, meal plans, fitness brands)
• Shopping and lifestyle discounts via Flare and CommBank Workplace Banking

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world‑class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want.

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver's Licence and have their own transport.

Seymour Whyte is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including veterans.

Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued. We're unified in our direction toward having a workplace that is balanced and fair for all.
