Cadeler is a global partner in the offshore wind industry, specializing in wind farm construction and maintenance. We are expanding our Technical Sales organization with a Senior Technical Sales Manager who will drive the technical development of Foundation T&I tenders.
Location: Norwich, United Kingdom
What will you do?
As our Senior Technical Sales Manager, you will lead the technical aspects of Foundation T&I tenders from early feasibility through submission. You will guide the technical direction, coordinate input across the organization, and ensure high‑quality technical deliverables. Independence, strong technical judgement, and the ability to maintain an overview across multiple disciplines are essential.
Your Main Tasks Include:
* Lead the complete technical scope and feasibility assessment of Foundation T&I tender packages, ensuring alignment with client requirements, regulatory standards, and Cadeler’s operational capabilities.
* Define and drive the technical tender strategy, including optimised vessel strategies, installation methodologies, and technical solutions supporting a competitive and robust bid.
* Provide technical direction and coordination for the professionals contributing to the tender (Technical Sales Engineers at junior/professional/senior levels), ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment across all technical inputs.
* Oversee and quality‑assure all technical tender deliverables, including tender‑stage engineering, method statements, schedules, drawings, and technical assumptions.
* Lead cross‑functional technical collaboration with Engineering, Vessel Management, HSEQ, Project Engineering, Tender Management, and external specialists to identify risks, develop solutions, and ensure a coherent tender package.
* Act as the main technical counterpart for clients, subcontractors, and suppliers—including handling clarifications, RFP scopes, technical evaluations, and negotiation of technical annexes.
* Drive continuous improvement, integrating lessons learned, developing templates and tools, ensuring accurate technical pricing, and executing a structured technical handover to the project execution team.
To succeed in this role
We are looking for a structured, analytical, and independent technical specialist who thrives in a fast‑paced tendering environment and combines deep technical insight with strong commercial awareness.
You Will Be a Great Match If You Have

* Proficiency in Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Teams, and familiarity with AutoCAD 2D or similar tools.
* Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to convert client needs into cost‑efficient, technically feasible solutions that optimise the use of resources and vessel capabilities.
