Bid Manager
to lead and manage the end-to-end bidding process for opportunities up to (and beyond) £350 million. This role plays a key part in driving growth by increasing our win ratio and strengthening our position in the market.

You'll work closely with teams across the business, building strong relationships and ensuring bids are well-informed, competitive, and aligned with our strategic goals

Supervisory/Interpersonal- Experience Required
You're someone who thrives on bringing people and ideas together to create winning bids. You're naturally curious, commercially aware, and confident navigating complex information — whether that's reviewing contracts, analysing opportunities, or coordinating input from across the business.

You've got a solid background in bid management or estimating, ideally within the gas industry, and you know how to spot a good opportunity when you see one. You're comfortable working with numbers, have a sharp eye for detail, and communicate clearly with people at all levels.

You enjoy building relationships — and you're not afraid to get out and about, whether that's visiting sites, attending events, or being a visible presence across our depots. You're organised, proactive, and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.

If you're someone who brings energy, insight, and a collaborative mindset to your work, we'd love to hear from you.
