- Review and interpret building plans and specifications to support detailed cost estimates
- Use and contribute to internal and external benchmarking data to inform pricing strategies
- Create supporting documentation (e.g., rosters, schedules, and shift patterns) for bid submissions
- Collaborate with Commercial, Operational, Business Development, and Bid teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Work with Heads of Service to identify innovative and alternative service delivery models
- Identify efficiencies through multi-skilling and optimisation of roles across service streams
- Support mobilisation by developing transition plans, schedules, and cost breakdowns
- Contribute to contract retention and improvement through re-engineering and challenging existing solutions
- Maintain up-to-date market knowledge, including competitors, industry trends, and service innovations
- Manage a high volume of tenders and re-tenders within tight deadlines
- Ensure health and safety considerations are embedded within all solutions and activities
