At Babcock we're working to create a safe and secure world, together, and if you join us, you can play your part as a Senior Bid Manager at our Babcock Technology Centre, based in Bristol.

The Naval Nuclear Bid Management Team is the driving force behind forward planning for all naval base projects. Their expertise lies in seamlessly transitioning early-stage project concepts into tangible outcomes.

The role
As a Senior Bid Manager in Naval Nuclear, you'll have a role that's out of the ordinary. Using your developed skills in stakeholder management, communication, and organisation you will ensure that naval base projects are efficiently planned and executed, contributing to the readiness and effectiveness of naval operations.

Day-to-day you will assign bid coordinators and managers to projects, monitoring their progress, and providing guidance to enhance their success. You will lead complex bids, manage multiple bids concurrently, identify process enhancements, and actively participating in senior board meetings. You will also:

  • Manage proposals in line with the Bid Handbook and Babcock corporate governance policies, processes and procedures
  • Champion Health and Safety, security and trade controls compliance within the bid team
