If you are interested in a position with us or want to know more about the profession, then read on.
We predominantly offer Bid Writer positions, however we occasionally offer Business Development and Proof-reader positions.
A typical week involves interviewing clients. You therefore need excellent interpersonal skills. You will also read a fair amount, assimilating information quickly and identifying what is relevant. Bids vary from a few sides to hundreds of pages, so you have to enjoy writing - a lot! Excellent time management is also required as you will be working to deadlines.
Our business development team answers enquiries, maintains our communications, prepares client briefs, and manages project schedules. It also organises weekly team events, from formal training to roundtable discussions.
Even our most experienced people become 'word blind' when writing hundreds of pages. Our proof-readers are, therefore, a critical quality control, reading documents for typos, grammar, and consistency.
“As a writer, I really enjoy the broad range of clients I get to work with, learning about different sectors and industries, some of which I had never considered before.” – Alex, Bid Writer

Even then, you will receive on-going training with consolidation courses, masterclasses, and roundtable events.
