## Description

We're looking for a Construction Procurement Manager to own the full tendering process for our construction projects — from assembling tender packages to negotiating with contractors and building bid comparisons. Working closely with Project Managers, the Design/Technical team, and Estimators, you'll make sure every project gets a competitive, well-documented set of bids and the right contractor for the job.

**Responsibilities**

-   Assemble complete tendering packages for construction works together with the Project Manager, design/technical, and estimating departments (drawings, Bills of Quantities, contract drafts, Requests for Proposals).
-   Build and maintain long lists and shortlists of potential contractors per trade/scope, and continuously grow the contractor database through market research and networking.
-   Issue RFPs/ITTs, manage contractor queries and clarifications throughout the tender period, and keep a clear audit trail of all tender correspondence.
-   Interact directly with contractors and suppliers: coordinate site visits, collect quotations, and follow up to ensure complete, comparable, on-time submissions.
-   Negotiate commercial terms, pricing, and key contract conditions with shortlisted contractors.
-   Prepare bid comparison / leveling tables together with the Estimators department, and present clear, well-documented recommendations for contractor selection.
-   Support the Project Manager and Procurement department in the handover from tender award to contract execution.
-   Maintain tender registers, trackers, and files in an organized and auditable way.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Architecture, or a related field.
-   5 to 10 years of experience in tendering, procurement, or contracts within construction, fit-out, or general contracting.
-   Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and Bills of Quantities (BOQ).
-   Hands-on experience drafting Requests for Proposals/Invitations to Tender and reviewing subcontractor/contract terms.
-   Proven track record negotiating price and commercial terms with contractors or suppliers.
-   Advanced Excel skills (bid comparison / leveling tables, trackers).
-   Fluent English, written and spoken (additional languages a plus for international sourcing).
-   Comfortable working remotely and independently across multiple concurrent projects.

## Benefits

-   Full ownership of the tendering process rather than a narrow slice of it — exposure to the complete cycle from package assembly to contract award.
-   Work across a portfolio of construction and fit-out projects, with direct interaction with project managers, designers, estimators, and a wide network of contractors.
-   Fully remote role with flexibility on location.
-   A company actively investing in building out a proper procurement/tendering function rather than leaving it to already-stretched PMs
