The Casey Group

Rochdale, Greater Manchester

We are currently recruiting a Bid Writer to cover a period of maternity leave for a period of 12 months.

While the role is advertised as full-time, we’re open to discussing part-time arrangements (3 or 4 days a week) depending on experience and fit.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone with a solid foundation in bid writing — even a little experience goes a long way if you’re enthusiastic, organised, and keen to grow. Experience within construction, civils, public realm etc. is not essential, what matters most is your ability to craft clear, compelling responses.

You’ll be confident working across teams, leading meetings, and collaborating with technical staff to turn ideas into winning proposals. Attention to detail, strong organisation, and the ability to meet tight deadlines are essential.

The role involves supporting the full bid lifecycle — from early planning and writing through to handovers and mobilisation. You'll also help maintain our bid library, create case studies, and occasionally attend site visits to strengthen content with real-world insight.

Experience of Adobe InDesign, or similar software, would be highly beneficial, but not essential.

If you’re proactive, a strong communicator, and enjoy turning complex information into compelling content, we’d love to hear from you.

·Support marketing efforts by producing project case studies, external materials, and presentations for client and stakeholder engagement.
