A highly successful and profitable refurbishment & fit‑out contractor in Edinburgh is looking for a Bid Coordinator to join their established pre‑construction team. This role offers exceptional long‑term security and a mature, supportive working environment with genuine flexibility.
Your new company
You’ll be joining a business recognised for its industry leading staff retention, stable leadership, and consistently strong financial performance. Their culture is built around trust, professional respect and long term development — offering a level of stability that is increasingly rare in the construction sector.
With a strong pipeline of negotiated and tendered work across commercial, public sector and specialist interiors, they continue to grow sustainably while maintaining a close knit, people first approach.
Your new role
As Bid Coordinator, you will support the pre‑construction function in producing compelling, accurate and visually impressive submissions. Your responsibilities will include:
- Preparing and coordinating bid, tender and PQQ documentation
- Using Adobe InDesign to create high quality, branded proposals and layouts
- Tailoring case studies, CVs, project profiles and technical narratives
- Gathering and organising content from estimators, planners, designers and operational leads
- Managing and improving the bid library and wider knowledge bank
- Ensuring submissions align with brand standards, bid strategies and client requirements
- Contributing to wider marketing and pre construction activity when required
This is a collaborative, hands on role where your creativity, organisation and communication skills will directly influence bid quality and win rates.
What you'll need to succeed
- Experience in a bid/proposal, document production or marketing led role
- Strong skills in InDesign and MS Office
- Excellent written English and the ability to shape persuasive content
- Strong organisation and comfort working across multiple deadlines
- A proactive, team focused mindset
This role could suit someone currently working in:
- An architectural practice
- A construction or project management consultancy
- Another main contractor or specialist subcontractor
- Any professional environment with proposal, document, or design led responsibilities
Why this role is unique
- Supportive, mature culture where flexibility and work–life balance are genuinely encouraged
- Exceptional staff retention — people build long term careers here
- Financially robust & highly profitable business offering genuine long term security
- Flexible working options available to support personal and family commitments
- The chance to develop within a respected pre construction team that values quality over volume
What you’ll get in return
A competitive salary, strong benefits package and the opportunity to join a stable, respected contractor that prioritises its people. You’ll enjoy a supportive environment, long‑term progression opportunities, and the security of joining a business with a proven track record of sustainable success
