highways maintenance jobs

About Pro Landscapes

Pro Landscapes MDX Ltd is a rapidly growing, multi-depot commercial grounds maintenance, arboriculture and infrastructure services contractor operating across the South East and beyond.

We deliver long-term contracts for local authorities, highways, utilities, and large commercial clients, with a strong pipeline of framework tenders and repeat business. As part of our continued growth strategy, we are seeking an experienced Bid Writer to take ownership of our end-to-end tender submissions and improve win rates across high-value public-sector contracts.

This is a senior, hands-on role suited to someone who understands how tenders are actually scored — not just written.

The Role

You will be responsible for managing and writing high-quality tender submissions for public-sector and large commercial clients, including local authorities, utilities, and framework agreements.

You will work closely with Directors, Operations, Health & Safety, and Compliance teams to produce clear, compelling, and fully compliant submissions that score highly against published evaluation criteria.

• Quality questions
• Social value
• Environmental sustainability
• Health & Safety and compliance sections
• Analyse tender documentation, scoring matrices, and evaluation criteria to shape responses strategically
• Develop and maintain a bid library of core responses, policies, and evidence
• Coordinate inputs from internal stakeholders and external partners
• Ensure all submissions are fully compliant, well-structured, and submitted on time
• Review feedback from unsuccessful bids and implement continuous improvement
• Support case studies, accreditations, and evidence updates

Essential Experience

• Proven experience as a Bid Writer within:
• Public sector
• Local authority
• Utilities
• Infrastructure / FM / Grounds / Arboriculture / Construction sectors

Strong understanding of:

• ITTs, PQQs, SQs, and framework submissions

• Ability to write clear, persuasive, evidence-based responses under deadline pressure
• Excellent written English and attention to detail
• Knowledge of ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001)
• Experience with grounds maintenance, arboriculture, highways or FM contracts
• Understanding of social value, environmental, and sustainability criteria

Desirable (But Not Essential)

• Delta
• Proactis
• In-Tend
• Jaggaer
• Contracts Finder

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance-related bonus linked to bid success
• Flexible hybrid working (UK-based)
• Direct access to Directors and decision-makers
• Opportunity to shape and own the bid function
• Long-term career progression within a growing group

Who This Role Is For

✔ An experienced bid writer who wants ownership, not admin

✔ Someone commercially aware, not just technically compliant

✔ A professional who understands that winning work is as important as writing well
