Job description

Tendering Engineer | Sheffield | £40,000 + strong benefits package

I'm recruiting a Tendering Engineer for a switchgear manufacturer with genuine heritage in electrical engineering, part of a wider group that's been powering the built world for generations.

This isn't a role where you're pricing kit in isolation and firing it off. You'd sit right at the commercial heart of the business, turning incoming enquiries into winning bids across a full range of MV and LV switchgear products, and working shoulder to shoulder with Sales, Procurement, Engineering and Production to land the optimal solution rather than just the cheapest number.

The postholder owns the tender end to end: validating whether there's a viable offer worth chasing, shaping the strategy to improve win rates, reviewing terms and conditions, and negotiating final specifications with contractors, end users and OEMs.

What you'd be doing:

• Developing and preparing commercial and technical offers across the switchgear range to maximise the chance of securing orders
• Assessing and qualifying incoming enquiries, then building the strategy that makes each offer as competitive as possible
• Reviewing tender T&Cs, raising clarifications and exceptions, and agreeing contract specifications with external stakeholders

What they're after:

• A degree or HNC in Electrical Engineering
• A solid technical grounding in MV and LV electrical switchgear, including a real feel for product features and limitations
• Sharp attention to detail, strong organisation, and a proactive, problem-solving attitude

What's on offer:

• 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, with flexible and hybrid working
• Life insurance at 4x salary and an enhanced company pension
• Yearly Salary review/raise
• GP24 remote GP access, a 24/7 employee assistance programme, and a real commitment to training and development

Expectation is to visit the office once every 2 weeks. You can be based out of their Sheffield or Prestwick office.
