Are you a great writer with an eye for detail, strong organisational skills and an interest in tenders, proposals and winning new business? We are looking for a Tender Administrator to join a growing team in Caterham. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with detailed information, producing polished documents and bringing together information from different people to create professional, client-focused submissions.

• Commercial Administrator
• Sales Support Executive
• Marketing or Communications Executive
• Document Controller
• Executive Assistant or Senior Administrator
• Or another commercial role where writing, research, document production and stakeholder coordination are a key part of your day-to-day work.

Perhaps you have supported tender submissions but your current job title doesn't reflect it.

• Creating and formatting professional documents and simple visuals.
• Managing submission deadlines and maintaining accurate bid trackers.
• Keeping standard content, case studies and supporting information up to date.
• Ensuring all submissions are accurate, compliant, professionally presented and submitted on time.
• Supporting post-tender reviews and feedback.

About you… Most importantly, you will be someone who takes pride in the quality of their work. You will have:

• Excellent written English and strong proofreading/editing skills.
• The ability to understand detailed information and communicate it clearly.
• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent organisation and time management skills.
