As a Bid Manager/Writer supporting a major London main contractor, this role is all about helping the client produce strong, well-structured bids that genuinely reflect their construction expertise. The successful candidate will work closely with project teams, planners, design managers and operational leads to shape and write clear, engaging responses for PQQs, ITTs, frameworks and major tender submissions. You'll dig into client requirements, understand scoring criteria, and help develop win themes that show how the contractor delivers value on education, residential, commercial, public-sector and technically demanding schemes. A big part of the job is taking technical detail-from buildability to logistics, sustainability, social value and programme strategy-and turning it into responses that are easy to follow and score well. Alongside live bids, the role will support the client's wider bid function by strengthening their content library, updating case studies, capturing lessons learned and improving the quality of future submissions. Experience working on public-sector frameworks (such as Local Authority, education or government programmes) and understanding how quality-weighted evaluations work will be a real advantage, as will familiarity with private-sector construction bids. The ideal candidate will be confident engaging site teams and senior stakeholders, comfortable challenging and refining technical input, and able to juggle multiple deadlines without losing clarity or accuracy. It's a great opportunity to contribute to high-profile UK projects while helping the client continue to grow their presence in the London market.
