The business delivers a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, educational, and infrastructure projects, with a strong reputation for quality, safety, sustainability, and client satisfaction. As Bid Writer, you will play a key role within the wider work-winning team, taking ownership of bid content from the early PQQ stage through to final tender submission.

The ability to work independently and collaboratively, manage multiple deadlines, and adapt to a fast-paced environment is crucial.
