Full job description

Overview

We are a Temporary Traffic Management company recruiting an Estimator / Bid Manager (Work Winner) to take ownership of our tender and estimating functions and convert opportunities into secured work — particularly within utilities and civils / highways contracting.

This is a delivery-aware role. You will manage the bid process end-to-end — PQQs/SQs, tenders, written submissions, pricing, clarifications, and follow-up — ensuring every submission is compliant, accurate, and commercially competitive.

You will play a key role in driving revenue growth by converting opportunities into secured work, working closely with operations, design, and senior management to ensure bids are both win-ready and deliverable. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of success in this field.

Key Responsibilities

Winning Work (Tenders, PQQs, Frameworks)

Seeking out new tender opportunities via Constructionline, existing knowledge and publicly held lists etc.
Lead and complete PQQs/SQs/SSQs and tender submissions (ITT responses)
Manage bid timelines, clarifications, and submission quality control
Maintain a structured pipeline of opportunities, deadlines, and outcomes
Coordinate supporting evidence (certifications, policies, case studies, methodology)
Drive post-submission activity: clarifications, value engineering, and negotiations

Estimating and Pricing

Produce accurate, competitive estimates for temporary traffic management works
Build robust pricing schedules aligned to operational delivery
Price labour, plant, equipment, transport, supervision, welfare, and programme impacts
Include permit costs, authority requirements, and lead times in submissions
Ensure pricing is commercially sound and stands up to client scrutiny

Scheme and Planning Coordination

Coordinate traffic management plans with designers
Review layouts for buildability, safety zones, and practical delivery
Liaise with operations to confirm resourcing, logistics, and delivery approach

Compliance and Quality

Ensure all submissions align with:

Chapter 8
NHSS 12D
NRSWA requirements
Client specifications and contractual requirements

Maintain document control and consistent standards across all bid outputs.

Essential Experience (Must-Have)

Proven experience in traffic management estimating and work winning
Strong understanding of PQQs/SQs and tender submissions
Good CAD / scheme understanding (ability to interpret and challenge layouts)
Solid knowledge of permit costs and operational pricing
Clear written communication and strong attention to detail

Desirable (Advantageous)

Experience bidding into utilities and civils/highways contractors
Familiarity with frameworks, programme-based works, and reactive call-off models
Ability to build and maintain bid libraries (case studies, standard responses, evidence packs)

What We Offer

£35,000 – £55,000 depending on experience
Performance-based bonus linked to work secured and bid success
Company laptop and mobile phone
Full-time, office-based position with direct responsibility for work winning
A compliance-led business where safety and quality are non-negotiable
Opportunity to improve bid structure, win rate, and commercial performance
An office therapy dog, so the successful candidate cannot be allergic to, or frightened of dogs

Pay: £35,000.00-£55,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
