About TSG
TSG is a growing, forward-thinking business delivering mechanical, electrical, building and renewable solutions to a broad and diverse client base. As part of our ongoing expansion, we are seeking an experienced and commercially focused Bid Director to lead our bidding function and drive sustainable growth.
This is a senior leadership role with strategic influence and the autonomy to shape our bid operations, elevate performance, and embed innovative practices — including AI-enabled solutions — across the bid lifecycle.
The Role
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will take full ownership of TSG’s bidding function from opportunity identification through to contract award. You will lead, mentor and develop the bid team while ensuring a robust, compliant and high-performing bid process.
This role is both strategic and hands-on: you will define bid strategy, strengthen governance, drive pipeline development, and contribute directly to written submissions where required.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and project-manage bids from early qualification through to submission and award
* Provide leadership, coaching and direction to the Bid Managers and Bid Coordinator
* Develop compelling bid strategies, win themes and value propositions
* Oversee the Bid/No Bid process to ensure quality, compliance and commercial viability
* Introduce and champion innovation, including AI and digital solutions to enhance bid performance
* Maintain and proactively grow a high-quality opportunity pipeline
* Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and key clients across all divisions
* Produce clear reporting to the Board on pipeline activity, opportunity status and strategic risks
* Write, edit and review key bid content to ensure accuracy, impact and competitive positioning
* Drive best practice, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the bid function
About You
You are an influential, credible and results-driven bid leader with a proven track record in winning work in the M&E, construction or renewables sectors. You balance strategic oversight with a hands-on approach and are confident engaging at senior and Board level.
You will bring:
* Significant experience leading successful bid functions in a senior capacity
* Strong understanding of M&E, construction or related technical sectors
* Expertise in producing high-quality written content and managing the full bid lifecycle
* Excellent leadership, mentoring and communication skills
* Strong commercial awareness and the ability to drive competitive, compliant bids
* Confidence operating at Board level and influencing senior stakeholders
* A proactive mindset, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
* Experience with AI tools in bidding (desirable, not essential)
Why Join TSG?
This is a high-impact senior role where you will shape the future of TSG’s bidding function. You will join a dynamic leadership team in a business that values innovation, ownership and continuous improvement. As we grow, you will play a pivotal role in securing new work, strengthening our market presence and driving long-term success.
