  • Strong leadership skills with experience managing bid teams.
  • Experience in delivering winning bids across multiple sectors.
  • A team player who thrives in a collaborative, “one team” culture.
  • Exceptional bid writing.
  • Experience in creating a winning bid strategy and communicating it clearly.
  • Knowledge of the construction industry and a passion for delivering excellence.

At Willmott Dixon, we believe in work-life balance, inclusivity, and creating a space where you can thrive.


Based in the Northwest, working flexibly from our Oldham office and home.


Why Willmott Dixon?

We reward our people generously with a competitive salary and a market-leading benefits package that gives you flexible benefits to fit your lifestyle and priorities.
