With 330 architects, planners, landscape designers and specialists across 9 UK studios, we combine deep local knowledge with national expertise to design better places, build resilient partnerships and empower people.

The Role

We are looking for an organised, proactive and creative Bid Assistant to join our Work Winning team. Working under the guidance of our Bid Co-ordinators, you will help prepare proposals and tender submissions for architecture, planning, landscape and other design-led projects.

This is a junior role focused on research, administration, content gathering and document production. You will support several bids at different stages, helping the team produce accurate, well-presented submissions. Bid Co-ordinators will lead bid programmes, manage contributors and oversee the final response; you will help them deliver that work and develop your knowledge of the bid process

Key Responsibilities

  • Check contract notices and bid portals, record relevant opportunities and pass them to the Bid Co-ordinators for review
  • Gather background information to support go / no-go discussions led by senior colleagues
  • Update bid trackers, schedules and document folders, flagging upcoming deadlines or missing information
  • Request and collate project details, team CVs, images and other material from design teams and external collaborators
  • Update standard content, including practice information, project case studies and CVs
  • Help draft straightforward responses using approved information and guidance from the Bid Co-ordinators
  • Proof read and check submissions for accuracy, consistency and compliance with client instructions
  • Format documents and presentations using agreed templates, including supporting InDesign production
  • Record clarification questions, submission outcomes and feedback, and help keep the bids platform up to date

Requirements

Essential

  • Strong administrative and organisational skills, with good attention to detail
  • Clear written communication and proofreading skills
  • Ability to manage assigned tasks, meet deadlines and raise questions when guidance is needed
  • A collaborative approach and confidence communicating with people across different teams
  • Good working knowledge of Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Desirable

  • Experience supporting bids, proposals or other deadline-driven documents
  • Familiarity with Adobe InDesign, or an interest in learning it
  • An interest in architecture, design, construction or the built environment
  • Awareness of bid processes or public-sector procurement

Benefits

What We Offer

  • Salary: £26,500 - £30,000 (Depending on Experience)
  • Minimum 4 days per week
  • Flexible working environment
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Family-style culture
  • Opportunity to work on meaningful, high-profile projects

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
