Job Details

Ranked as the 5th Best Company To Work For by the Sunday Times in 2020, Willmott Dixon is a people focused business that is driven by quality and customer service. To this day we remain family owned and ensure our core values are embodied by each team member.

We are looking to recruit a Bid Coordinator to join our bid submissions team in Weybridge that will align themselves with our commitment to customer service, quality and our culture. Promoting an agile working environment, the role is split between office and remote, therefore the candidate should be located within a reasonable commuting distance to Weybridge. We also have offices in Gatwick and Dartford, to which ad-hoc, occasional travel may be required.

The candidate should ideally have some experience as a Bid Writer, Bid Editor, Bid Coordinator or similar role.

Through your review and editing of drafts you will ensure the writing structure and words used in the bid persuasively conveys our offer to the customer. Working with subject matter experts, you will conceptualise and create visual elements to help tell the story.
