Job description

Projects & Bid Team Internship Programme

THE ROLE: Projects & Bid Team – Internship Programme

Location: Cardiff Office

Salary: At Wild Creations, we’re proud to be an accredited Real Living Wage employer. This means our internship is paid at the Real Living Wage rate of £13.45 p/h, not just the statutory minimum.

Working hours: 37.5 hours per week – 8am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday

Contract: 3 months starting January 2027

Positions Available: One

Wanted: The next generation of Project Leaders to bring Immersive Experiences alive!

Ready to turn ambitious ideas into reality?

The Wild Creations Projects & Bids Internship Programme is a three-month launchpad for emerging talent looking to build a career in project management and commercial coordination within the creative and themed entertainment industry.

We are looking for organised, proactive and curious individuals who want to understand how ambitious creative projects move from an initial client enquiry and bid proposal through our internal design, fabrication and installation teams.

Working alongside our Bid & Projects team, you will gain hands‑on experience across the full project lifecycle; from understanding a client’s brief and helping develop a competitive proposal to coordinating a live project and seeing the finished experience come to life.

You will learn how commercial opportunities are developed, how projects are planned and controlled, and how collaboration across departments turns creative concepts into successful deliveries.

This is an opportunity to discover the vital role that both bidding and project management play in bringing extraordinary experiences to life.

YOUR JOURNEY FROM BRIEF TO DELIVERY

• Bid Development & Commercial Coordination: Understand how new opportunities are received, client briefs are reviewed, proposals are developed and bids are coordinated, tracked and submitted.
• Project Planning & Coordination: Learn how projects are structured, programmes are developed, milestones are tracked and teams are coordinated to keep work on schedule.
• Commercial & Financial Management: Understand project budgets, purchase orders, cost tracking, gross margin, invoicing and the commercial decisions that support successful project delivery.
• Client & Stakeholder Management: Gain experience communicating with clients and internal departments, managing actions, recording decisions and keeping everyone aligned.
• Creative Production & Installation: Follow the journey from design development to workshop fabrication and on‑site installation, understanding the dependencies and challenges at each stage.
• Mentored for Success: Receive guidance and support from the Head of Projects, Project Managers, Bid Coordinator and wider operational teams.

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH:

• Practical experience supporting the preparation and coordination of bids and proposals.
• An understanding of how commercial opportunities progress from initial enquiry to project award.
• Experience supporting the planning and delivery of live creative projects.
• An understanding of project programmes, risk management, commercial controls and client communication.
• Exposure to design, fabrication, workshop production and installation environments.
• Experience using professional project management tools, trackers, documentation and reporting processes.
• A clearer understanding of career opportunities across bidding, project management and themed entertainment.
• Direct consideration for inclusion in the Wild Creations talent pool.
