Tender Manager | Renewable Energy & Power Infrastructure | Sydney

Most Tender Manager roles sit within large, well-supported bid teams.

This one doesn’t!

This is a hands-on, end-to-end Tender Manager role within a growing renewable energy contractor, where you’ll be responsible for driving submissions from strategy through to delivery - with real accountability for outcomes.

About the Company:

Our client is a global engineering and construction business (EPC) delivering projects across power generation, transmission, distribution, and renewable energy.

Operating in Australia within a lean, delivery-focused model, the business requires individuals who can operate with ownership, pace, and commercial awareness.

The Role:

You will lead the preparation and submission of high-quality tenders across renewable energy and infrastructure projects.

This is not a coordination-only role - you will be expected to actively drive the process, challenge inputs, and ensure submissions are both technically compliant and commercially competitive.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead end-to-end tender preparation and submission
Interpret technical and commercial documentation to define bid strategy
Develop and execute win strategies aligned to client requirements
Coordinate inputs across engineering, estimating, and project teams
Manage tender timelines, deliverables, and internal accountability
Oversee bid writing to ensure clear, compelling, client-focused submissions
Conduct risk assessment and mitigation planning
Support pricing and estimating inputs where required
Ensure full compliance with client and internal standards
Drive quality across all written and presentation aspects of submissions

What This Role Requires (Read Carefully):

This role suits someone who:

Has operated in tendering within construction, infrastructure, or energy
Is comfortable owning the full tender lifecycle, not just components
Can work effectively in a lean environment without large support teams
Brings strong commercial judgement and critical thinking
Is proactive, accountable, and able to drive outcomes independently

What This Role Is Not:

A highly segmented Tier 1 bid environment
A role where responsibilities are distributed across large teams
Suitable for individuals who prefer structured, heavily supported workflows

Qualifications & Experience:

Degree in Engineering or related discipline
Proven experience in tendering / bid management within construction or infrastructure
Exposure to renewables, power, or HV electrical projects highly regarded
Understanding of estimating and project delivery principles
Strong capability across Microsoft Office and tendering systems

Why You Will Want To Be Part of This Team:

Direct involvement in major energy infrastructure projects
High level of ownership and influence over project pipeline
Opportunity to shape tendering approach within a growing business
Work in a sector with sustained national investment and demand

Salary:

Open to candidates currently aligned with market rates for Tender Manager roles.
