Job description

Competitive salary based on market & experience

Are you a natural storyteller with a sharp eye for structure and detail? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment, transforming technical content into compelling, client‑focused proposals? We are looking for a Senior Bid Writer to join our dynamic team and play a pivotal role in creating winning tender and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) submissions.

About the Role

As a Senior Bid Writer, you will partner with our Bid & Estimating Team, as well as experts across our design, construction, and development teams. This role is central to our business development strategy and requires someone who can craft well‑structured, persuasive submissions that align with client expectations and business goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the creation of tender and ECI submissions, leveraging our extensive project library and collaborating with subject matter experts to extract and translate technical content into engaging written responses.
  • Write high‑quality content tailored to each bid, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and alignment with both tender requirements and company objectives.
  • Edit and proofread bid documents for clarity, consistency, and compliance with client specifications.
  • Manage bid writing through the entire lifecycle—from pre‑qualification and submission to post‑bid support activities.
  • Conduct in‑depth research on project requirements and industry trends to strengthen our proposal strategy.
  • Maintain a bid tracking system to monitor submissions and support timely delivery of all proposal‑related activities.
  • Foster collaboration between internal departments and external stakeholders to ensure a cohesive, high‑performing bid team.
  • Contribute to the preparation of presentations and marketing materials that highlight our unique value proposition and capabilities.

About you

  • Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Business, or similar (or equivalent experience).
  • Solid experience in bid writing, preferably within government construction, infrastructure, or development sectors.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills, with a strong attention to detail. Must be advanced in MS Word. Knowledge of InDesign is desirable, but not necessary.
  • Ability to understand and convey complex technical information clearly and concisely.
  • Excellent organisational and project management skills with the ability to work on multiple bids simultaneously.
  • A proactive and collaborative mindset, comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Experience in using tender and document management platforms is advantageous.
