Summary
VolkerFitzpatrick offers a range and depth of civil engineering, infrastructure and building services. We contribute to vital parts of the nation's life through projects of strategic importance, while delivering those less visible, yet essential, works required by both private and public sectors. We build, renew, maintain highways, airports, railway infrastructure, and commercial, industrial and educational buildings.
This presents an excellent opportunity for a Senior Bid Manager to join our rapidly expanding VolkerEnergy team. You will take the lead on delivering first class tenders, leveraging our internal teams to transform our client requriements into compelling, compliant and value driven bids.
This role would either suit someone who has been operating as a Bid Manager or a Project Manager with energy sector experience looking to take a new step in their career.
This role can be based out of either of our offices in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire or Farringdon, London.
VolkerEnergy delivers the full range of civil engineering works and services to facilitate EHV cable installation for electricity transmission projects, including direct delivery of landfall and onshore horizontal directional drilling (HDD). This encompasses EPC cable systems projects for transmission owners, such as National Grid, as well as the upgrades required to support the anticipated growth in offshore wind, reinforcing the network away from carbon intensive generation hubs to sources of green electricity. For private offshore wind and interconnector developers we provide a comparable service, delivering civil engineering works associated with onshore EHV cable routes, including landfall and onshore HDD.
