Our purpose is to engineer sustainable assets which our valued customers are proud to own and operate.\nOur culture is built around three simple values:\nSafe People | Happy People | Sustainable Business\nAs our business and client portfolio continue to grow, we are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Bid & Marketing Coordinator to join our team and play an important role in helping Bridges win new work, communicate our capabilities and strengthen our brand.\nThe Role\nThis is a varied and highly visible role combining bid management, bid writing, marketing, communications and digital content creation.\nA significant part of the role will involve coordinating major framework and tender submissions. You will take ownership of the bid programme, coordinate contributions from across the business, help develop compelling written responses and ensure that every submission represents Bridges at its very best.\nAlongside bidding, you will support the development and delivery of Bridges' internal and external marketing activities, including social media, website content, brochures, capability statements, presentations, case studies, internal communications and promotional materials.\nThe successful candidate will therefore need to combine excellent organisation and project management with strong written communication and a creative eye.\nThis is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants a broad role where they can see the direct impact of their work on the continued success and growth of the business.\nKey Responsibilities\nBid Management & Coordination\nProject manage framework bids, tenders, PQQs and other strategic submissions from initial opportunity through to final submission.\nDevelop and maintain clear bid programmes, submission schedules and responsibility matrices.\nReview tender documentation and identify key requirements, deliverables, deadlines and

final submission reviews.\nProactively chase actions and information to ensure submissions remain on programme.\nManage tender portals, document control and submission requirements.\nEnsure all tender responses are compliant, professionally presented and submitted on time.\nSupport post-tender clarification responses, presentations and client interviews where required.\nMaintain accurate records of current and forthcoming bidding opportunities.\nBid Writing & Content Development\nWrite, edit and coordinate high-quality tender responses which clearly communicate Bridges' strengths and differentiators.\nTranslate complex technical information into clear, persuasive and client-focused responses.\nWork with subject matter experts to draw out evidence, examples and measurable outcomes.\nChallenge contributors constructively to improve the quality of responses.\nEnsure responses directly address client questions, scoring criteria and stated priorities.\nReview submissions for clarity, consistency, grammar, accuracy and overall quality.\nHelp develop win themes, key messages and differentiators for strategic opportunities.\nMaintain and continuously improve a structured library of tender responses, case studies, project examples, CVs, statistics and supporting evidence.\nCapture lessons learned and feedback following submissions to continually improve our bidding approach.\nOur objective is not simply to submit compliant tenders, but to produce winning, class-leading bids that clearly demonstrate why clients should choose Bridges.\nMarketing & Communications\nSupport the development and delivery of Bridges' marketing and communications activities.\nProduce professional marketing materials including brochures, capability statements, case studies, advertisements, presentations, exhibition materials and client communications.\nDevelop content which showcases our projects, people, innovation, manufacturing capability and engineering expertise.\nSupport internal communications including employee campaigns, company announcements and engagement initiatives.\nWork with colleagues across the business to identify good news stories and opportunities to promote Bridges.\nHelp maintain consistency of the Bridges brand across all communications and marketing materials.\nSupport exhibitions, conferences, client events and industry

schedule.\nWrite social media copy and create supporting artwork and graphics.\nMonitor engagement and identify opportunities to increase the reach and effectiveness of our content.\nHelp tell the stories behind our projects and, importantly, the people who make them happen.\nMaintain an appropriate balance between technical, client, people, community and business content.\nWebsite

and client communications.\nManage and organise Bridges' library of photography, graphics and marketing assets.\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe are looking for someone who is naturally organised, creative and curious, with the confidence to work with people at all levels of the organisation.\nYou will ideally have:\nExperience in bid coordination, bid writing, marketing, communications or a similar role.\nExcellent written English and the ability to produce clear, persuasive and engaging content.\nStrong project management and organisational skills.\nThe confidence to coordinate multiple
