Building Futures. Building Teams. Building Careers.


Kier Places are recruiting for an experienced Bid Manager to join our passionate Capital Projects Team.

With our diverse portfolio of projects, we are looking for a Bid Manager who has a passion for the project at hand and securing work whilst also being able to work within a closely knit team in order to drive projects forward in pre-construction, convert to a successful bid and hand over to the construction team at a very high standard. We understand this approach is essential to ensure we consistently win work and secure repeat business.

You will be working on a portfolio of projects predominately in the occupied building arena, including residential, commercial, public sectors, ranging from large internal and external refurbishment projects to small construction projects, with values in the range of £1m - £10m.


Key Responsibilities

As Bid Manager you will be working as part of an established pre-construction team, that will support the success of every project through the tender and pre-construction phase.

This role will focus on leading and owning the tender and pre-construction process on multiple competitive, negotiated, singe stage and 2 stage bids, working collaboratively with our pre-construction, operational and commercial teams.

As an integral member of our pre-construction team, you'll coordinate and manage all pre-construction and tender activities from initial expression of interest through to final submission and handover to the construction phase team, taking ownership of the process and content.


What are we looking for?

Can you do it? Yes, you can - if you have demonstratable experience of developing winning proposals and proven ability to produce high quality written tenders - ideally with a sound understanding of the social housing sector, and having experience with 2 stage bids.

Whilst you won't be writing bids, you'll ideally have had bid writing & administration experience with a proven track record of quality writing, as you'll be managing & motivating the bid team, whilst managing & influencing stakeholders at a senior level.

Pre-employment checks

It's worth remembering that if you are successful, we'll undertake the relevant / standard pre-employment checks after you have been offered a job. This includes taking up your references, verifying your right to work in the UK, verifying your driving licence (if applicable) and a health assessment.

Due to the nature of this role, you will also be required to complete a Basic Disclosure and Barring Service Check (applicants with criminal convictions will be treated on a case by case basis.
