Job description

Overview

Are you a proactive, hands-on professional who wants to make a tangible impact in the renewable energy transition? We’re looking for a Tendering & Proposals Manager to join our marine-focused renewables client in their growing team in London.

In this varied and dynamic role, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end tendering and proposal process, from identifying opportunities and coordinating submissions to crafting compelling proposals and securing project funding. You’ll experience both busy, high-intensity periods and quieter phases where you can plan, refine, and develop future strategies.

Responsibilities

• Lead the preparation and submission of commercial tenders, bids, and proposals.
• Write and manage high-quality responses for public and private sector opportunities.
• Support and lead on grant applications and funding submissions.
• Collaborate with technical, commercial, and delivery teams to produce accurate and engaging content.
• Maintain and improve proposal templates, tools, and bid libraries.
• Use your understanding of PV systems, battery storage, and wider renewable technologies to strengthen proposals.

About You

• Proven experience in tendering, proposals, or bid management within the renewable energy sector.
• Strong writing and communication skills — able to turn complex technical details into persuasive narratives.
• A “roll your sleeves up” attitude — happy to dive into detail and get things done.
• Knowledge of PV modelling and/or battery energy storage systems would be a real advantage.
• Organised, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.

Why Join the Company

• Play a pivotal role in delivering innovative, sustainable energy projects.
• Work alongside a passionate, mission-driven team.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Hybrid working model based in London.

If you’re ready to take ownership, drive results, and contribute to a cleaner energy future we’d love to hear from you.
