Ideally, you’ll bring:

  • 8+ years’ experience across tendering and/or project management, with demonstrated people leadership experience
  • A proven track record leading teams responsible for complex, competitive and commercially successful bids
  • Strong understanding of tender governance, risk management, costing, pricing and commercial decision-making
  • Experience across multiple technologies such as LV/MV Power Systems, Secure Power, BMS/EPMS, Digital Power or Digital Energy

  • Strong understanding of the electrical industry and EPC delivery environment
  • Excellent financial and commercial acumen, including margin management, forecasting and risk and opportunity management

You’ll also bring a strong customer mindset, the ability to collaborate effectively across a matrix organisation, and a genuine interest in developing people and building a stronger, more scalable tendering capability.
