Aureos are seeking a talented and experienced Proposals Manager to join our growing infrastructure team. This is a key role where you will lead the development of high-quality bids for complex infrastructure projects, helping us secure strategic work across our rail, highways, energy, and nuclear business units. Managing the end-to-end bid process, you will craft compelling written content and collaborate closely with technical experts across multiple disciplines to produce exceptional submissions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the full bid lifecycle across the infrastructure division, from inception to final submission, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality, competitive proposals.
  • Write, edit, and proofread persuasive and technically accurate bid responses, tailored to client requirements.
  • Collaborate with subject matter experts, commercial teams, and delivery leads to shape winning strategies and facilitate solution development workshops and reviews.
  • Coordinate closely with Bid Coordinators to maintain timelines and uphold quality standards across all deliverables.
  • Analyse tender documentation to extract key requirements, identify win themes, and ensure full compliance with client and internal governance.
  • Support post-submission activities, including clarifications, presentations, and feedback reviews.
  • Support internal knowledge sharing and coaching of more junior team members.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
