About the Role
At Balfour Beatty, some of the most important decisions are made long before construction starts. As a Bid Manager, you’ll be at the centre of those decisions — shaping how complex, high-profile projects are conceived, costed, and ultimately delivered across our Regional Build London team and the wider region. This is a high-impact role where your ideas, leadership, and commercial insight will directly influence the success of major infrastructure and construction schemes that communities rely on every day.

As a Bid Manager you will:
- Lead the preconstruction journey on strategically important bids, from early engagement through to contract award
- Bring together design, commercial, planning, and delivery teams to create winning, buildable solutions
- Develop innovative construction methodologies that balance cost, programme, quality, and safety
- Work closely with clients to understand their challenges and shape solutions that add real value
- Drive risk management, value engineering, and smart use of the supply chain
- Set the standard for excellence in bidding, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Day in, day out, our teams deliver some of the UK’s most ambitious, exciting and meaningful projects; developing, building and maintaining the vital infrastructure that supports national economies and strengthens communities.

Why join us?
As if contributing to and supporting work that makes life better for millions wasn’t rewarding enough, we offer a full range of benefits too. You’ll have the freedom to shape the package that’s right for you and your life. Here are some of our key benefits:
- Smart working, giving you more flexibility such as staggered start and finish times, with up to 40% remote working, where roles allow
- 25 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
- Family friendly policies which include 28 weeks full pay for maternity/adoption leave and four weeks full pay for paternity/partners leave
- Pension, share incentive plan, volunteering leave, recognition schemes and much more…

Experience
- Strong experience in preconstruction, bids, or work-winning within construction or infrastructure

About you
- A confident leader who can motivate teams and influence senior stakeholders
- Commercial awareness with a practical understanding of how projects are built
- The ability to think strategically, challenge assumptions, and find better ways to deliver
- A passion for quality, safety, and sustainable construction
