Our client is a premier player in the national contracting and highways construction industry, seeking a talented and experienced professional to bolster their proposals team. This is a phenomenal opportunity to bring your expertise into a niche role that influences the success and growth of our client's significant projects.

About the Role

We are searching for a Senior Proposals & Bid Writer who bridges the best of both worlds: construction and bid writing. Your role will be pivotal in preparing comprehensive bid documents that showcase our client's capabilities and align perfectly with project goals and client requirements.

As an expert in this role, you will:

Lead: Plan and create project phases and compelling bid commentaries.

A Skilled Writer: You are technically proficient and a wizard with words, capable of translating complex construction language into clear, compelling bid proposals.
A Technical Guru: Your expertise in project management, construction planning, and methodologies (like road resurfacing and phasing) sets you apart.
An Independent Worker: While collaboration is critical, you thrive when working independently, taking the initiative on detailed bid writing for large construction projects.
Willing to Travel: About 20% of your role involves travelling across the country to interview and gather insights, alongside a monthly visit to our client's headquarters in the Midlands.

Why Apply?

Impact: Play a significant role in the success of high-profile nationwide construction projects.
Growth: Our client values your professional development and offers opportunities for you to expand your expertise into commercial management.
Flexibility: Embrace the balance of remote working with the occasional travel to connect and collaborate with the team.
Company Car: An EV to get you around.
