What is important is that you understand this type of work and can confidently price projects up to around £5 million. You should have experience taking a tender through the full process rather than simply pricing individual elements of a project. That will include reviewing enquiries, attending tender meetings, understanding drawings and specifications, completing take offs, obtaining subcontractor and supplier prices and putting the final tender together. You will need to be commercially aware and understand the importance of submitting a competitive price without exposing the business to unnecessary risk. What you will be doing with your experience You will take responsibility for tenders across industrial and commercial fit out and refurbishment projects, with individual schemes valued up to around £5 million. From the point an enquiry arrives, you will work through the tender and understand exactly what is required. You will attend tender meetings where required, review drawings and specifications, complete take offs, engage with subcontractors and suppliers and build up the costs for each project. You will then bring everything together into a complete tender submission, making sure the price is accurate, commercially sensible and reflects the requirements of the project. You will work closely with the wider team throughout the process, particularly when a tender progresses towards award and needs to be handed over into delivery. This is a role where you will have genuine ownership of your tenders rather than simply supporting somebody else with the pricing.
