• Thoroughly edit and proofread all material to ensure information is accurate, consistent, and grammatically correct, with no spelling or formatting errors.
• Review all client documents prior to bid launch meetings to fully understand submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and deliverables.

• Manage and contribute to the written proposal in terms of both content and presentation, ensuring all responses are persuasive, structured, and aligned with client expectations.
• Produce bespoke CVs and project case studies tailored to the specific requirements of each bid.
• Ensure timescales are achieved at every stage of the bid process, including all internal reviews and sign-off procedures, while proactively setting realistic deadlines.
• Co-ordinate and plan client presentations associated with bid submissions, ensuring they are well-structured, visually engaging, and aligned with the written proposal.
• Maintain a consistent library of bid materials, including project write-ups, staff profiles, and company content, ensuring all information is current and compliant with branding guidelines.
• Understand client requirements in detail and ensure all submissions clearly address these needs with relevant evidence and strong value propositions.
• Support the production and design of all submission materials — ensuring documents are visually appealing, in line with corporate branding, and easy to read.
• Collaborate with internal teams to gather technical input, transform complex information into accessible language, and enhance the overall quality of submissions.
• Continuously review and refine bid content, structure, and templates to improve consistency and competitiveness.
• Monitor procurement portals and industry bulletins for new opportunities and upcoming tenders.

Marketing & Support (Secondary Responsibilities)

• Assist in creating marketing materials, case studies, and capability statements to complement bid activity and promote the company's strengths.
• Support the team in maintaining brand consistency across all communications, presentations, and promotional documents.

Essential Skills & Attributes

• Proven experience in bid writing, tender coordination, or proposal management, ideally within the construction or built environment sector.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and proof-reading skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Strong ability to interpret client documentation and translate technical or operational information into persuasive, benefit-led narratives.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and Adobe InDesign (or equivalent design software).
• Highly organised, proactive, and capable of managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the confidence to collaborate across departments and engage with senior stakeholders.
