The Role
Looking for variety, ownership, and a clear path for progression?
This is a fast-paced, high-impact role for a Bid Writer who wants to do more than just manage templates. Working directly with directors, architects, surveyors, and engineers across our 14 regional offices, you will own the bid process from initial kickoff to final submission. You’ll translate technical expertise into clear, persuasive proposals across a broad portfolio of property and construction projects. Plus, as Bailey Partnership continues to expand, this role will naturally adapt alongside our growth - giving you genuine room to broaden your scope, shape your responsibilities, and step up over time.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
