• Strong understanding of government and private sector procurement processes.
• Self-motivated, strategic and capable of operating within a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive bid/no-bid decisions based on strategic alignment, resource availability and commercial viability.
• Develop winning tender strategies, including client engagement plans, market intelligence and key differentiators.
• Collaborate closely with estimating teams to ensure pricing strategies are competitive, commercially sound and aligned with project objectives.
• Maintain and manage a national pipeline of opportunities, identifying projects through client relationships, industry networks and procurement platforms.
• Lead bid kick-off meetings, review workshops and tender debrief sessions.
• Ensure all submissions are compliant, professionally presented and delivered within required timeframes.
