If you're part-qualified or qualified and looking for a role with a difference, this is an excellent opportunity to join one of the leading global manufacturing businesses, within a key local team that offers an entrepreneurial and agile work environment.

There is no requirement to have existing bid experience, the client is looking for someone with a finance/accounting background that would be interested to explore this opportunity.

You'll report into finance, and work closely with the Bid Manager, Finance, and Sales teams to lead the estimating bid process, collaborating with key stakeholders to gather, condense, and present crucial information. You'll develop and deliver accurate cost estimates based on Bid Engineering parameters, utilizing current norms and rates.

Additionally, you'll manage the collection and tracking of cost inputs, ensuring transparent version control and the timely completion of estimates within the Tender Template and Pricing Document. You'll also be responsible for applying risk, warranty, margin, and inflation adjustments, ensuring accuracy by working closely with the Finance Manager to incorporate up-to-date rates in the tender. As projects could go through multiple iterations, a dynamic pricing structure will be utilised.

This role will be perfect if you have:

• A CIMA or ACCA professional accounting background and be fully or part-qualified
• Agility, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

And would love a role that:

• Is focused on accountancy and finance, with considerable use of Excel and technical systems
• Offers considerable stakeholder engagement; you'll be the interface between sales, bids and international customers
• Will vary greatly, with no two days being the same
