BID Manager (Infrastructure & Marine)
The Bid Manager plays a central role in securing BESIX's future project pipeline across the Middle East and Africa. By leading complex, high-value tenders from start to finish, this role directly influences the company's ability to win strategic marine and infrastructure projects, expand into key markets, and maintain a competitive edge. A successful Bid Manager ensures that every submission is commercially sound, technically robust, and aligned with BESIX's long-term growth objectives.
Key responsibilities include managing each tender as a standalone project with full administrative and financial oversight. The Bid Manager coordinates internal and external multidisciplinary teams—comprising engineering, planning, procurement, legal, finance, and HSE—to develop compliant and competitive bids. This role leads cost estimation, pricing strategy, and financial modeling in line with target margins and defined risk exposure. Additionally, the Bid Manager performs contractual and commercial risk analyses, organizes and leads site visits and meetings with clients and partners, manages clarifications, and leads commercial and technical negotiations. Ensuring high-quality submissions that adhere to deadlines and corporate governance standards is paramount.
The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field. Additional training in commercial management, contract law, or project management is advantageous. Candidates should have 8 to 12 years of experience in the construction industry, with at least 5 years in bid management or tendering roles. A proven track record in delivering bids for infrastructure and marine projects—including ports, quay walls, dredging, coastal works, bridges, and heavy civil works—is essential. Experience leading tenders across Africa and/or the Middle East, familiarity with international contract frameworks such as FIDIC, and experience working within or leading consortia, joint ventures, and multinational bid teams are also required.
BESIX offers exciting projects, career growth opportunities, a diverse team, competitive benefits, and a positive workplace culture. The company is guided by core values of respect, excellence, co-creation, passion, and unity, creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, secure, and motivated to reach their full potential.
