About You

To be successful in this role, you will have experience creating compelling bid and tender responses in complex business environments, ideally with a delivery provider of asset management, operations and/or maintenance services; however, this is not essential. You will excel at engaging with people to develop outstanding written content. With a proven ability to meet deadlines, you will work effectively with a diverse group of capable and dedicated professionals across a complex organisation. Your outstanding written communication skills will enable you to articulate solutions compellingly, connecting content and winning themes to your audience.

Additionally, you will demonstrate and possess the following:

  • Outstanding written communication skills fine-tuned through writing a range of tenders
  • A track record of working confidently with stakeholders from all levels, including operations personnel and business leaders
  • The confidence and willingness to challenge the status quo
  • Excellent project management skills and attention to detail
  • Flexibility, including a willingness to jump in as required to help out the team
  • Cultural alignment with our core values: Safety Leadership, Care & Empathy, Customer Service, and Diversity, Inclusion & Equality.

Work With Us

When you work with the bid development team at Programmed, your experience and voice matter. Most importantly, you’ll be joining a truly high-performance team. We value a supportive environment from the top down and we work as one. We pull together when needed, we recognise great contributions, and we share successes just as we do the hurdles that we face.
