Enerveo have an extensive street lighting business that manages over 1 million street lights across the UK and Ireland and through design, project management, consultancy, installation, and maintenance we play a major role in reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints helping towns and cities become smarter, greener and more efficient which benefits us all.

Could you be our next Bid Manager to join the team and drive this success forwards?

What will I be doing in this role?

As a key member of the Highways Electrical Estimating Team, you will play a central role in managing the entire process required to produce high-quality, competitive tender responses for our strategic customers. This role covers the full scope of bid management responsibilities, including stakeholder engagement, bid writing, and providing expert guidance on tender submissions. Working closely with the Senior Management Team, Operational Managers, and fellow Estimating Team members, you will take ownership of delivering tenders that meet our customers’ needs and reflect our commitment to excellence.

In a typical day, you could expect to be;

• Developing and communicating clear “win” strategies for each bid, managing tenders through internal governance and ensuring compelling responses that directly improve our success rate.
• Collaborating with subject matter experts and senior managers to plan, write, and review high-quality bid content for large street lighting tenders.
• Managing timelines and processes to ensure deadlines are met, governance requirements are followed, and submissions are delivered efficiently.
• Coordinating across multiple functions – including Operations, HSEQ, Commercial/Legal, and Estimating – to produce cohesive, persuasive, and customer‑focused submissions.
• Maintaining consistently high standards of bid content, ensuring all language, tone, and messaging is accurate, professional, and tailored to each client, sector, or decision‑maker.
• Leading stakeholders in risk management, identifying and mitigating potential delivery challenges early in the process.
• Building and maintaining a central library of bid support materials, keeping content up to date and easily accessible to support future tenders.

What do I need to be successful in the role?

We are looking for someone who can bring the below skills and experience to our team;

• Excellent knowledge of industry best practice, to create high‑quality tenders that meet the expectations of sophisticated customers.
• Proven bid writing expertise, strong technical writing skills and the ability to produce compelling proposal content.
• Understanding of what a winning bid looks like, with the ability to identify potential risks and quickly grasp technical, financial and legal information in the context of managing and delivering tenders.
• Experience in bid management or pre‑construction, enabling confident navigation of complex tender processes.
• Technical expertise from engineering, commercial, design or operational roles; knowledge of the street lighting market is desirable.
• Confidence in communicating and influencing at senior levels, taking a firm but constructive stance when needed.
• Ability to remain focused and effective under pressure, consistently delivering work to a high standard.

If you’re an organised communicator who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys seeing a project through from start to finish, this could be the perfect role for you.

We know that some applicants don’t apply unless they think they tick all the boxes, but we would much rather see your application than risk missing out on your potential!
