What is a bid manager in construction?

A bid manager in construction is responsible for coordinating and producing compelling tenders that win work for their business. Operating within the pre-construction phase, bid managers lead the preparation of technical and commercial documents, often working closely with estimators, planners, business development teams and directors. 

The bid manager’s role is to understand client requirements, highlight the company’s strengths and ensure each submission is professionally presented. From managing timelines and document quality to influencing strategy and messaging, the bid manager plays a critical role in helping construction firms secure new projects.  
What is a bid manager job description?

A bid manager job typically includes overseeing the end-to-end bid process, managing input from multiple stakeholders and ensuring timely, high-quality tender submissions.
