Operating across education, healthcare, commercial, industrial and public sector projects, the business has secured a strong pipeline of work through long-standing client relationships and key public sector frameworks. With continued investment in its pre-construction function, this is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in winning work across projects ranging from £2m to £20m.

The Role

Working closely with the Bid Manager, Estimating and Pre-Construction teams, you'll be responsible for producing compelling, high-quality tender submissions that clearly communicate the company's strengths, technical expertise and social value commitments.

This is a role for someone who can manage multiple deadlines, interpret client requirements and create engaging content that helps secure repeat business and framework opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

* Produce high-quality written responses for PQQs, SQs and tender submissions.
* Develop persuasive answers to quality questions, ensuring they meet client requirements and scoring criteria.
* Coordinate information from operational, commercial and technical teams to produce accurate submissions.
* Tailor content for projects across different sectors
* Maintain and develop the bid library, case studies and supporting documentation.
* Create content covering social value, sustainability, health andamp; safety and quality management.
* Ensure submissions are professionally presented and completed within strict deadlines.
* Support continuous improvement of bid processes and submission quality.

What We're Looking For

* Previous experience as a Bid Writer within construction or the built environment.
* Strong experience producing successful PQQ, SQ and tender submissions for a main contractor.
* Excellent written communication and proofreading skills.
* Ability to manage multiple bids simultaneously and work to tight deadlines.
* Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
* Experience of public sector frameworks would be highly advantageous.
* Proficiency with Microsoft Office and bid management software.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Bid Writer looking to join a successful contractor where they can have a real influence on winning work and contribute to the continued growth of an established North West construction business.
