Reporting to the Bid Manager, the post-holder must have specialist water industry and environmental engineering experience to develop and write Pre-Qualification Questionnaires and Invitations to tender responses across a wide range of services and values. You will be responsible for the quality of the technical aspects of each bid, ensuring the written documentation and presentations are clear, concise, and compelling.

You will be empowered to manage your own diary and take full ownership of your workload with a high degree of autonomy.

In return for your hard work and dedication, you will receive:

• Access to opt in and out of numerous schemes using Stonbury Salary Extras
• Performance-related rewards
• Opportunities to influence our future through feedback forums and surveys
