Job description

The Company:

We are working with a leading, national, building contractor whose Manchester Office has created a great reputation for delivering varied and interesting projects for clients based in the North West of England.

Of the 30+ people we have placed in roles with this company most are still with the business, many have progressed in to new roles and the vast majority of people we send for interview with this business want to work for them.

They have a very approachable and successful senior management team, secure the overwhelming majority of their projects through negotiation (they are good at what they do and tend to leave their clients pleased with their projects) and are also members of a number of key public sector, procurement frameworks. Although they are one of the Top 20 Construction Groups in the UK, they have the feel of a smaller family business where employees are valued and supported.

They are cash rich, make good margins on their projects, have an excellent supply chain who they pay promptly and treat with respect (we know this from personal experience!), staff turnover is low and their Glassdoor rating is among the best in the industry.

The Role:

They are now keen to add a Bid Writer to their team as they have increased the number of schemes in preconstruction.

You will be responsible for generating high-quality written bids, tenders, and quotation materials, working alongside the pre-construction team and other staff.

You will provide admin support from initial enquiry to tender submission, including bid writing input from simple quotations and client enquiries to large scale bid proposals and tender submissions.

You will help to source new clients by monitoring portals and sources of potential tender opportunities for the business.

You will help to handle PQQs, ITTs & RFIs downloading, collating, preparing, completing, and submitting relevant documents ahead of deadlines.

Ensuring that the correct documents are submitted as part of bids.

You ll thoroughly edit and proof-read materials that leave the building to ensure that information is formatted and grammatically correct without spelling errors, is well-researched, follows company brand guidelines and meets/exceeds customers requirements.

Suggest improvements to the bid process, developing best practice.

You:

They are keen to recruit an experienced Bid Writer or somebody who carries out Bid writing as a part of their role.

You will need to be based in or be able to commute to the North West of England daily.

IT literate.

Good construction knowledge.

Good verbal and written communication skills.

Rewards:

You will get the chance to work on significant, high-profile projects in the North West.

You will receive a good salary package with extensive benefits including a bonus that has been paid in 14 of the last 15 yrs.

The opportunity to work with an award-winning, forward-thinking organisation that have an excellent order book, varied and high-profile schemes who provide an exciting environment to work in.
