Do you thrive on transforming technical expertise into winning proposals? Are you a detail-oriented professional who enjoys crafting compelling tenders that deliver results? Join our growing team as a Tender Specialist, where your work will directly influence success in subsea projects around the globe.


What’s the Role About?

As a Tender Specialist, you’ll take ownership of the full tender process—working across departments to develop accurate cost estimates, compelling proposals, and seamless handovers to operations. Your ability to balance technical detail, commercial strategy, and client requirements will help secure complex subsea contracts.


What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the development of high-quality tender submissions, ensuring deadlines and client requirements are met.
  • Collaborate with technical teams to present the best-fit technical solutions.
  • Build competitive cost estimates and engage with suppliers and vessel brokers for optimized quotations.
  • Write, review, and refine proposal documents—transforming complex technical detail into clear, engaging storytelling.
  • Identify project risks and mitigations, with input from senior team members as needed.
  • Support contractual negotiations, reviewing commercial elements and ensuring assumptions are qualified.
  • Host and participate in internal and external tender meetings to align deliverables with client expectations.
  • Ensure smooth handover to the operations team so all project details are captured and ready for delivery.


Why Join Us?

  • Be a Game-Changer: Your work directly impacts project success and company growth.
  • Collaboration and Growth: Work with technical, commercial, and project teams in a dynamic, supportive environment.
  • Career Development: Be part of a company that values continuous improvement, empowering you to sharpen your skills and advance in your career.
  • Exciting Industry Exposure: Tenders focus on ROV, Diving, and Survey solutions—critical to modern subsea engineering projects.


What You’ll Bring:

  • Solid experience in tendering processes, with a keen understanding of the full tender life cycle.
  • Ability to develop, manage, and present detailed cost estimates and proposals.
  • Strong storytelling skills—able to transform technical content into clear, engaging tender documents.
  • Commercial and contractual awareness, with experience in risk identification and mitigation strategies.
  • Exceptional time management and communication skills, with a proactive and solutions-driven mindset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
  • Ability to work under pressure, meet tight deadlines, and prioritize tasks efficiently.
  • Experience in tendering for ROV/Diving/Survey projects is a plus but not essential.


Why This Role?

This is more than just a tendering position—it's an opportunity to make a real impact. You’ll be at the center of projects that shape the subsea industry, working in a supportive, collaborative environment where innovation and excellence are celebrated.
