Job Description
Lanes Group is the UK’s leading provider of water and wastewater solutions and services, playing a vital role in always maintaining the seamless operations of the nation’s water systems.

We are actively recruiting for this new additional role to enhance our current and established bidding team, reporting to the Head of Bids & Marketing. Successful applicants will be working on multi-sector submissions at any one time, such as Local Governments, Retail, Education, Health, Highways, and Utilities, so an ability to multitask is essential. This can be a high-pressure environment due to deadlines, so experience of working in a similar environment would be an advantage. The primary focus is to produce a successful submission within the agreed timescale. You will also conduct client/competitor analysis as part of the process. Full training will be provided to support any previous experience.

* Working with the wider business in order to obtain/compile content and write technical answers.
* Working with the sales team on the completion of the commercial aspects of the bids.
* Managing own workload, working on multiple submissions at any one time. These can range from £10,000 to £10 million+ in value, depending on the services being procured and contract duration.
About you:
