Bid Manager

Add expected salary to your profile for insights

Swan Group is looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Bid Manager to take full ownership of the end-to-end bid process — from strategy and content creation to final submission and post-bid review.

This is not just a coordination role. You'll be the driving force producing high-quality, compliant, and compelling submissions for Expressions of Interest (EOIs), Requests for Tender (RFTs), and Early Contractor Involvement bids. That means researching, writing, designing, and setting out documents yourself — as well as bringing together technical, operational, and commercial input from the team.

If you thrive on deadlines, have a creative yet disciplined approach to tender writing, and can balance detail with strategic messaging, this role will give you the autonomy, variety, and impact you're looking for.

Hands-On Bid Delivery

Produce high-quality written and designed submission documents (EOIs, RFTs, capability statements, prequalifications).

Create bid layouts using client forms, templates, and tools such as Canva or InDesign.

Draft tender programmes, site logistics plans, and construction methodologies.

Tailor content to each client and opportunity, ensuring clarity, persuasiveness, and compliance.

End-to-End Bid Management

Own the bid lifecycle from tender receipt through to final submission.

Lead bid strategy development with the Business Development Manager and estimators.

Source, refine, and integrate information from project teams.

Maintain and update tender logs, case study libraries, and pursuit schedules.

Attend site inspections, tender briefings, and industry events.

Business Development & Marketing

Build and maintain strong client relationships.

Identify new tender opportunities via portals and networks.

Support award submissions, marketing collateral, and social media content.

Safety & Compliance

Promote Swan Group's Safety First culture in all pre-construction activities.

Ensure all work meets OHSE requirements and company standards.

5+ years of commercial construction experience, with hands-on delivery background

Proven ability to write, design, and deliver technical and creative bid content.

Strong understanding of construction methodology, staging, and buildability.

High-level skills in Microsoft Office, tender portals, and Canva or similar.

Exceptional attention to detail, grammar, and layout.

Ability to manage multiple deadlines without compromising quality.

Tertiary qualifications in Project Management, Construction Management, or related field (preferred).

Office-based with occasional site visits.

Direct engagement with project, estimating, and senior management teams.

Fast-paced, deadline-driven environment requiring adaptability and initiative.
