Bid Writer | Chingford | Prime Refurbishments | Permanent | Immediate
 
An established refurbishment and maintenance contractor in Chingford is looking to appoint a Bid Writer.
 
The previous individual was proactive - regularly monitoring portals, attending meetings and keeping submissions moving. They now need someone to step in and take ownership of that function.
 
This is a hands-on role in a small business environment. No large bid team. No corporate layers. You’ll be working directly with the MD, estimators and delivery teams.
 
The Role
  • Daily monitoring of tender portals
    • Managing PQQs, SQs and ITT submissions
    • Coordinating technical, programme and commercial input
    • Drafting and structuring written responses
    • Attending internal meetings and supporting interviews where required
    • Maintaining and improving bid library content
 
Office-based in Chingford with hybrid working flexibility
 
What they’re looking for
  • Experience writing bids for a main contractor
    • Ideally refurbishment / maintenance sector exposure
    • Organised and consistent — able to manage multiple deadlines
    • Comfortable working in a small, close-knit team
    • Proactive without needing constant direction
 
The Business
A long-established main contractor delivering refurbishment and maintenance works across London, with a strong presence in Chelsea and surrounding prime areas.
 
Predominantly repeat-client work in a small team. They offer a very stable environment with long tenures being a part of the culture.
 
This is not a corporate bid department role, it’s ownership of the bid function within a steady contractor.
