A leading technology company who operates mainly within the defence sector is currently seeking a bid writer. This is a unique opportunity to join a well-established bid team, where you can work closely with experienced team members to learn and grow within a bid writer role. You can be based within a commutable distance to either office (Cambridge or Lincoln) as the bid team is split across both locations. There will be a requirement to travel to the other office every other month.
