Love turning technical solutions into winning bids? Join a long-established engineering business delivering automation, control and digital transformation in highly regulated industries.

You’ll work closely with engineering, supply chain and sales to understand requirements, define the right solution, build robust estimates and produce clear, persuasive proposals.

Not just pricing from a spreadsheet. You’ll influence bid strategy, challenge assumptions and help create submissions that stand out on quality, clarity and value.

What you’ll be doing:

  * Translate customer requirements into a clear, cost-effective technical solution

  * Produce conceptual designs for control systems (PLC/SCADA), MCCs, networks, servers and infrastructure

  * Write high-quality tenders: technical narrative, clarifications/exclusions, delivery approach and commercials

  * Build accurate estimates (materials, engineering hours and delivery requirements)

  * Coordinate inputs, run tender reviews/risk assessments and support sales through bid stage

What we’re looking for:

  * Background in electrical, control, automation or safety systems engineering

  * Good grasp of the project lifecycle from concept to delivery

  * Functional safety knowledge (SIL, ESD, F&G) and regulated environments

  * Comfortable specifying/reviewing PLC hardware, control panels, networks and architecture

  * Able to interpret specifications, spot scope/compliance gaps and manage risk

  * Strong technical writing and commercial awareness (estimating/BOMs a plus)

What’s on offer:

  * Up to £45,000 salary + enhanced pension

  * Hybrid working with flexible hours (including Flexi Fridays)

  * 25 days holiday + bank holidays (buy/sell option)

  * Private medical, life assurance and wellbeing/healthcare support

  * Professional membership support

  * Enhanced family-friendly policies
