Bid Manager - Civil Engineering

Bid Manager – Civil Engineering



Glasgow-Based | UK-Wide Projects

Permanent | Full-Time | Office-Based

Salary - up to £100,000 plus car, pension and annual bonus



Our client — a long-established and growing civil engineering contractor with a strong brand and decades of successful project delivery — is looking to appoint a Bid Manager to drive the development of high-quality, technically robust and commercially competitive tender submissions. This civil engineering business will consider someone not currently in a Bid Management role, but who is in an onsite delivery role and wants to move into this role. 



This isn’t a traditional bid writing role. Instead, you’ll be a key player in the pre-construction process, using your real-world project knowledge to help win work across a diverse portfolio that includes:



Windfarms



Battery storage facilities



Flood and coastal protection schemes



Substation projects



General civil engineering works



What you’ll be doing:



Lead and manage the bid process from enquiry through to submission



Work collaboratively with commercial, technical, and operational teams to shape content



Use your on-site or design experience to develop realistic, deliverable solutions



Coordinate submission documents, supported by in-house bid/graphics resources



Liaise with clients to clarify requirements and strengthen relationships



Support post-tender reviews and continuous improvement initiatives



Who this would suit:



The business is open-minded on background — whether you come from contracting or consultancy, if you've been involved in pre-construction, design coordination, contract delivery, or project strategy, this could be a great fit.



Ideally, you’ll have:



A solid understanding of civil engineering project delivery and commercial dynamics



Strong communication and coordination skills



An interest in moving away from site delivery into a more strategic, planning-focused role



Chartered status is welcomed but not essential



Why join?



Work with a highly respected leadership team and some of the best civil engineers in the sector



Join a business with a strong brand and a consistent record of success



Step into a pivotal role where your experience shapes the projects you help win



Enjoy the support of a collaborative and professional office-based environment
