Overseeing timelines, resources, and budgets to ensure all deliverables are completed accurately and on schedule. Ensuring full alignment with client specifications, legal standards, and internal governance while identifying and mitigating risks. Acting as the central point of contact for internal teams, clients, and external partners, ensuring clear and consistent communication throughout the bid process. Facilitating debriefs, capturing lessons learned, and integrating insights to strengthen future bids. Collecting and analysing bid-related data—such as submission volumes, win rates, and market trends—to inform strategic decision-making. Required skills Robust project and programme management capabilities. Exceptional communication and influencing skills. Meticulous attention to detail with a strong compliance focus. Advanced analytical skills and strategic thinking. Ability to perform effectively under pressure and consistently meet deadlines. Strong commercial awareness and sound business judgment. Qualifications and experience Solid understanding of the design-led built environment, gained through hands-on industry experience. Demonstrated success in managing and delivering bids, tenders, and proposals within structural engineering, civil engineering, or the wider construction sector. Strong track record overseeing the full tender lifecycle — from early opportunity assessment through submission, presentation, and post-bid evaluation. What's in it for you? The chance to work for an innovative, design-led studio based in London with the opportunity to work on some of the very best projects across Scandinavia, Europe and internationally, plus a friendly, dedicated team and a competitive salary. You’ll receive AKT II’s many employee benefits including a vibrant social calendar, with many company-funded events and activities.
