- Take a leading role in the tender process, ensuring deadlines are achieved and estimating duties are provided to the highest standard
- Produce detailed and accurate tender bids and cost plans
- Review and fully interpret tender documentation including Prelims, T&Cs, BREEAM, Fire Strategy, Acoustics, BIM and more
- Attend, present and chair internal and external meetings, and take a proactive role within the team
- Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective clients
- Collaborate closely with subcontractors and suppliers — leveraging established partners while identifying and developing new leads
- Ensure M&E abnormals are captured across both disciplines
- Agree strategies for named specialists and ‘equal’ alternatives within specifications
- Ensure submissions are accurate, competitive and aligned with project requirements
