Job description

The Opportunity

Our bid and tender process sits at the heart of how Boston Energy wins and grows business. As our opportunity pipeline grows, we need to invest and plan for the future of that function. As part of this investment, we're creating a new role: Contract & Tendering Coordinator.

This is a genuine development opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in commercial and contracts management. You'll work directly alongside Colin, our experienced Contract and Tendering Manager, get hands-on exposure to live bids and negotiations, and start building the skills, judgement, and relationships that this line of work depends on. There will be a clear line of sight to greater responsibility as you grow in the role, with structured mentoring from Colin and our CCO, Stuart Davidson, as you take on more complex tenders and negotiation work.

Who Will This Role Suit?

This role will suit someone with drive, attention to detail, and strong stakeholder skills. No experience in tendering or contracts is necessary; what matters is your track record, curiosity, and appetite to learn a new discipline.

• Working with subject matter experts across the business to pull together accurate, compliant submissions
• Helping maintain our tender and contract documentation, pricing templates, and bid library

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of building the future of our commercial team from within the business.
