Bid Specialist — Major Energy Projects

Are you an experienced bid professional looking to make your mark in the renewable energy sector? We're recruiting on behalf of a major contractor delivering large-scale renewable energy projects across Australia — including solar, wind and battery energy storage (BESS) — and they're looking for a Bid Specialist to join their growing team.


About the role

As Bid Specialist, you'll play a key role in securing new work across a strong and growing pipeline of utility-scale renewable energy projects. Working closely with estimating, engineering, commercial and delivery teams, you'll manage the end-to-end bid process — from opportunity identification through to submission — helping the business win complex, high-value tenders in a competitive market.


Key responsibilities

  • Manage the preparation and submission of tenders, EOIs and RFPs for renewable energy and infrastructure projects (solar, wind, BESS, substations).
  • Coordinate input from estimating, engineering, procurement, HSE and commercial teams to build compliant, compelling bid submissions.
  • Develop bid strategies, win themes and value propositions tailored to each opportunity.
  • Manage bid schedules and ensure deadlines are met across multiple concurrent submissions.
  • Review and refine technical, commercial and compliance content to ensure high-quality, client-ready documentation.
  • Support post-tender clarifications, negotiations and debriefs.
  • Maintain and improve bid templates, content libraries and lessons-learned processes.


About you

  • Proven experience in a Bid Manager, or Bid Specialist role, ideally within energy, renewables, construction or infrastructure sectors.
  • Experience bidding on large-scale renewable energy, BESS or substation projects highly regarded.
  • Strong writing and document management skills, with the ability to translate technical detail into clear, persuasive bid content.
  • Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple bids and tight deadlines simultaneously.
  • Confident working across cross-functional teams — engineering, commercial, estimating and delivery.
  • Tertiary qualification in business, engineering, construction management or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).


What's on offer

  • Join a major contractor with a strong, growing pipeline of large-scale renewable energy projects.
  • Be part of the team driving Australia's energy transition.
  • Competitive salary package, commensurate with experience.
  • Genuine opportunity for career growth within a scaling business.
