Tendering Engineer | Sheffield | £40,000 to £45,000 + strong benefits package
I'm recruiting a Tendering Engineer for a switchgear manufacturer with genuine heritage in electrical engineering, part of a wider group that's been powering the built world for generations.
This isn't a role where you're pricing kit in isolation and firing it off. You'd sit right at the commercial heart of the business, turning incoming enquiries into winning bids across a full range of MV and LV switchgear products, and working shoulder to shoulder with Sales, Procurement, Engineering and Production to land the optimal solution rather than just the cheapest number.
The postholder owns the tender end to end: validating whether there's a viable offer worth chasing, shaping the strategy to improve win rates, reviewing terms and conditions, and negotiating final specifications with contractors, end users and OEMs.

What they're after:
- A degree or HNC in Electrical Engineering
- A solid technical grounding in MV and LV electrical switchgear, including a real feel for product features and limitations
- Sharp attention to detail, strong organisation, and a proactive, problem-solving attitude
