• Drive pre-bid planning sessions and contribute to win strategies
• Support bid library development and continuously improve written content
• Balance multiple tenders simultaneously, meeting tight deadlines with precision

What We're Looking For

• Proven bid writing experience, ideally within recruitment, construction, rail, infrastructure, or technical services
• Strong understanding of public and private sector tendering
• Exceptional written communication and editing skills with an eye for detail
• Confident managing the full bid lifecycle from kick-off to submission
• Adept at working with operational and technical teams to gather insights
• Organised, deadline-driven, and comfortable with fast-paced environments
• Degree-level education preferred, but experience in a technical or commercial bid writing role is key.

Why Join Morson Talent?

• Get involved in major UK infrastructure projects from day one
• Be part of a collaborative, ambitious, and high-performing bid team
• Access structured career development and progression opportunities
• Ranked in the Top 50 Best Large Companies to Work For in the UK
