Do you have the construction IQ to translate complex project requirements into winning technical submissions? Our client, a prestigious, award-winning mid-tier builder in Adelaide, is looking for a Bids & Proposals Manager to lead their front-end project procurement and submission strategy.
This is a newly created, high-impact role designed for a construction professional who understands the "how" of building. You will be a key bridge between the Estimating team and Project Delivery, ensuring every proposal is technically sound, commercially sharp, and operationally viable.
The Opportunity: Drive the Technical Win
Unlike a standard marketing role, this position is for someone who can sit at the table with Project Managers and Site Supervisors to extract methodology, staging plans, and risk mitigation strategies. Our client is looking for a specialist to own the technical narrative of their tenders and help shape the future of their bidding department.

Key Responsibilities:
Technical Bid Leadership: Manage the end-to-end submission process for EOI, RFT, and RFP phases across commercial, institutional, and high-end residential sectors.
Methodology & Staging: Collaborate with project teams to develop and articulate clear construction methodologies, site logistics, and project staging narratives.
HSEQ & Compliance: Ensure all submissions accurately reflect the company’s robust safety, environmental, and quality management systems.
Subcontractor & Consultant Coordination: Work with external partners to gather technical inputs and ensure alignment with the overall project delivery strategy.
Strategic Review: Analyze tender documents to identify key project risks and opportunities, ensuring the proposal addresses specific client pain points.
Continuous Improvement: Develop a library of technical responses, project profiles, and CVs that demonstrate the firm’s award-winning delivery capability.
What You’ll Bring:
Construction Background: A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related technical field is highly regarded.
Industry Experience: 5+ years within the Australian Building Construction industry (Tier 2 or Mid-Tier preferred).
Technical Literacy: The ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, structural specs, and project programs (MS Project/Asta).
Strategic Communication: Strong technical writing skills with the ability to simplify complex construction concepts for various stakeholders.
Systems Proficiency: Experience with InDesign is a plus, but your mastery of MS Word, Excel, and Project is essential.
Why Join This Team?
Influence the Process: As a newly created role, you will have the autonomy to build the bid framework from the ground up.
Award-Winning Pipeline: Work on some of Adelaide’s most technically challenging and prestigious projects.
Professional Growth: This is a career-defining role with a direct line to the Directors and a clear path toward senior leadership.
