Greater Manchester, United Kingdom We Are Footprint Full time

Due to a strong pipeline of work, a leading company in the construction industry is looking for a dynamic Bid Manager / Preconstruction Manager to join their team in the North West region. Supporting the preconstruction team in the North-West, you will be based in the Greater Manchester office, but the company also supports flexible working and working from home wherever possible.

Reporting to a Preconstruction Manager, the successful person will demonstrate true leadership and manage both internal and external resources to deliver successful bids, on time, within budget and to the highest quality, ensuring customers’ expectations are met and, wherever possible, exceeded. Essentially, you will be project managing the preconstruction bid process.

With a proven track record of successful projects, you will be responsible for leading two-stage/negotiated tenders for projects ranging in value from £5m to £70m across a range of sectors, including Education, Leisure, Health, Blue Light, transport, and Commercial. The company operates through several frameworks, allowing for a greater probability of seeing your hard work come to life.


As a Bid Manager, you will be responsible for:

  • Motivating and leading a bid team that includes both internal (estimators, design professionals, MEP professionals, and planners) and often external (supply chain and consultants) resources.
  • Working closely with your team to develop the commercial strategy.
  • Managing the customers’ expectations through informal and formal ‘health checks’, adopting a professional and considerate approach to maintain good working relations.
  • Developing and incorporating project strategies to achieve the company’s sustainability objectives.
  • Ensuring regular monitoring and reporting on progress, managing potential risks and opportunities, and instigating pre-emptive and corrective actions as required.
  • Maintaining continuous professional development of yourself and your team to ensure appropriate technical awareness, implementing best practices, and driving continuous improvement.
  • Maintaining a ‘one team’ approach throughout to create a seamless transition from preconstruction to operations.
  • Coordinating inception workshops with customers and using your proven listening skills to ensure you truly understand customers' needs, gaining vital information that will enable your bid team to go the extra mile.


Experience in managing diverse technical input, understanding complex construction schemes, and leading the bid process will help you thrive in this role. If you have previously worked in a construction technical role, including but not limited to Operations, Planning, Commercial, Design, or Estimating, this will help you hit the ground running.


This is an exciting and challenging opportunity for you to become a key part of the pre-construction team. If you enjoy understanding the challenges customers face and are motivated by finding innovative solutions, please follow the link to apply.


In return, the company rewards employees generously with a competitive salary and a market-leading benefits package that offers flexible benefits to fit your lifestyle and priorities. This includes but is not limited to an enhanced pension scheme, discounted or full private medical, life assurance, incentive bonus, and a car scheme that makes the company a market leader in sustainable company travel. Applicable roles will benefit from a motoring expenditure allowance (MEA), and everyone can access a new generation of low carbon and electric cars via the company's car leasing scheme.
