Job DescriptionProject Manager – Civil Engineering\n

Glasgow-Based | UK-Wide Projects
Permanent | Full-Time | Office-Based
Salary: up to £100,000 + car, pension & annual bonus

Are you a Project Manager or Site Agent delivering civil engineering projects… and starting to think about your next step? Well this is a Bid Manager role and we'd love you to review this position. 

Do you want a role that still uses your technical, delivery and commercial insight — without spending your life on-site?

Our client, a respected civil engineering contractor with decades of success and a strong industry brand, is looking to appoint a Bid Manager.
They are actively interested in people from project delivery roles who want to move into pre-construction and hone their strategic, planning and win-work capability.

This is not a traditional bid writing job.
It’s a role for someone who understands how projects genuinely get built — and wants to use that knowledge to influence which projects the business secures.

Why this is a great move for a Project Manager wanting progression\n

    \n
  • \n

    Step away from the daily pressures of site delivery while still using the experience you’ve built.

  • \n

    Develop new skills in strategy, planning, risk, programme optimisation and client engagement.

  • \n

    Gain a broader view of the business, commercial strategy and long-term pipeline.

  • \n

    Position yourself for future leadership roles in pre-construction or operations.

\nThe type of projects you’ll help win\n

You’ll contribute to bids across a varied portfolio, including:

    \n
  • \n

    Windfarms

  • \n

    Battery storage facilities

  • \n

    Flood and coastal protection

  • \n

    Substation projects

  • \n

    General civil engineering works

\nWhat you’ll be doing\n

    \n
  • \n

    Lead and manage the bid process from enquiry through to submission

  • \n

    Work closely with commercial, technical and operational teams to shape the strategy

  • \n

    Apply your on-site delivery experience to build realistic, deliverable methodologies

  • \n

    Coordinate submission documents with the support of in-house bid/graphics specialists

  • \n

    Liaise with clients to clarify requirements and strengthen pre-construction relationships

  • \n

    Support post-tender reviews and continuous improvement activity

\nWho this would suit\n

This opportunity is ideal for someone who has:

    \n
  • \n

    A strong grounding in civil engineering project delivery (Project Manager, Site Agent or similar - if you're already a Bid Manager, great!)

  • \n

    Experience coordinating design, programmes, temporary works, risk or procurement on live projects

  • \n

    Excellent communication and organisational skills

  • \n

    A genuine interest in moving into a more strategic, planning-focused, office-based role

\n

(Background in consultancy or design is also welcomed. Chartered status is beneficial but not essential.)

Why join?\n

    \n
  • \n

    Work alongside an experienced pre-construction leadership team

  • \n

    Join a business with a respected brand and a track record of successful project delivery

  • \n

    Move into a pivotal role where your operational insight directly shapes the projects the business wins

  • \n

    Become part of a collaborative, supportive, highly professional office environment

\n
