Bid Manager

You are a person who likes to take ownership and make decisions that move things forward. We are the workplace that gives you the flexibility to make that happen. Interested? Read on.

As the National Gas Services Bid Manager, you will lead on the end to end process of compiling bids of up to (but not limited to) £350m, interlinking with all business areas and increasing our win ratio to support NGS growth strategy.

You will have exposure to the end-to-end process of Bid Management, this includes; monitoring online platforms, conducting general research for work opportunities, linking in with all business areas on feasibility to deliver whilst balancing that with the commercial viability, all the way through to contract reviews and preparation for sign off.

Maintaining our sterling reputation of Performance Excellence means you will need to attend client performance reviews, new supplier onboarding questionnaire, go on site visits / scoping sessions, attend networking events and functions to build and maintain our customer and stakeholder relations resulting in more work orders.

How successful NGS continues to be relies on the Bid Manager consistently delivering and as such you will be integral in providing a monthly overview of opportunities including those won / lost to understand why and learn from them. You will be visible around the NGS depots to build internal relations and understand more about the work we do, specifically the Ambergate hub around 2 days a week.

To be successful in this role you will have sufficient experience to be comfortable in leading the Bid Management for NGS, this includes having experience in the Gas industry and you will have a good balance between commercial acumen and technical experience.

This might be developing in your existing role, you might even have your sights set on a higher level position, whatever it is we will give you the support and tools needed to succeed.
