We help Scottish subcontractors competitively tender for and win construction contracts, and we're expanding our team. This is a hands-on opportunity to build bid-writing experience while working closely with experienced consultants.
About Us
Growth & Performance Solutions is a construction consultancy that helps SME subcontractors across Scotland win work with main contractors. We support clients through every stage of tender readiness, from sourcing the right opportunities through to writing strong, compliant bid responses. We're a growing, hands-on business and this role sits right at the centre of how we deliver for clients.
About the Role
This is an assistant-level, entry-to-junior role and no previous bid-writing or construction experience is required. What matters most to us is your commitment to growth, your writing and organisational ability, and your willingness to learn.
On day one, we'd want you to be able to research a topic and draft a first response to a question, using the digital tools. Within your first 12 months, you'll have become a confident, capable partner on live bids: researching opportunities, contributing to bid responses, and keeping our records organised and up to date.
What You'll Do
- Source and flag relevant tender opportunities from procurement portals
- Research supporting information — client history, contract values, past performance — to inform bid responses
- Draft first-pass responses to tender questions, using digital tools to support your research and writing
- Keep client records and bid documentation organised, accurate and up to date, handled in line with our Information & Data Protection Policy
- Support with general administration and coordination across live client work
- Take on new tasks and responsibilities as the business and your own skills grow
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Strong written communication, you can write clearly and accurately
- Confident using Microsoft Office/productivity software day-to-day
- Comfortable using AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) for research and drafting, or keen to learn quickly
- Good organisation and time management, with the ability to prioritise competing tasks
- Able to work independently and stay on top of your own workload
- Curious, teachable and genuinely keen to learn, this matters more to us than direct sector experience
- Warm, enthusiastic, reliable and adaptable, with the good judgement to know when to ask for help
- Willing to handle client and bid information responsibly and in line with our Information & Data Protection Policy
Preferred (nice to have)
- A genuine interest in AI and how it's changing the way people work
- Interest in construction, procurement or the public sector although full training will be given
- Some experience with CRM/database tools or social media
