Tendering Engineer

Build your career in engineering proposals and tendering
Whether you are an engineering graduate looking to start your career, or an engineer already supporting proposals or applications, this role offers a clear pathway into technical tendering and commercial engineering.

This is not a pure design role and it is not a sales role. It sits between both, giving you exposure to how engineering solutions are shaped, priced and delivered to customers.

You will work closely with sales and engineering teams to interpret specifications, support technical proposals and contribute to tender submissions that win projects. It is an opportunity to develop both your technical understanding and your commercial awareness in a structured, supportive environment.
