Job Description
Position: Bid Writer
Location: Wirral
Wirral About Us:
We’re a dynamic and growing property maintenance company with a reputation built on quality, reliability, and a refusal to cut corners. We Operate on a national scale, we call the Wirral home for our central services, with over 200 brilliant colleagues working across the business.
What sets us apart? Our passion for excellence, our drive for innovation, and our talent for getting the job done right, the first time. We’re not afraid to think big, build smart, and aim high. And no, we didn’t use AI to write that (or anything else… mostly).
The Opportunity
We are looking for a key player in our fast-paced, forward-thinking team. As our next (human) Bid Writer, who will help shape the future of the business through smart, strategic writing that wins work and wows our clients.
You’ll be right in the thick of things, supporting high-stakes bids, collaborating with teams across the company, and making sure every proposal we send out has impact, polish, and a touch of personality.
If you’ve got the experience, the creativity, and the ability to outwrite a bot on a deadline. This is your moment.
If you are an experienced Bid Writer with a sharp pen, strategic mind, and an allergy to auto-generated write ups or if you twitch when someone suggests “just asking AI to write it”? Good, so do we.
We’re on the lookout for a seasoned Bid Writer, ideally with a property maintenance or construction background, who knows their way around PQQs, SQs, RFPs and all the other exciting acronyms that keep businesses growing. If you’re passionate about persuasive writing, understand the fine art of tailoring a proposal (not copy-pasting one), and know that a winning bid doesn’t come from AI, then you’re already speaking our language.

Key Responsibilities

• Writing compelling, winning bids that don’t read like they were written by a robot
• Rewriting, editing, and finessing input from colleagues into client-ready documents.
• Adapting pre-written content without it sounding like pre-written content
• Supporting our Bid Manager in structuring submissions with strategy and flair
• Conducting research that gives proposals the edge
• Creating sharp, on-brand content across digital, social, internal comms
• Keeping our tone of voice consistent and our messaging unmistakably Hankinson
• Helping manage internal docs and templates so everything’s clean, current, and chaos-free

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in bid writing (if you’re still Googling “what is a PQQ?”, this probably isn’t the job for you)
• A love for words, clarity, and a perfectly placed semicolon
• Strong organisational skills, you’ll juggle deadlines without dropping the plot
• Someone who can collaborate with a range of teams nationally!

What You’ll Get in Return

• Competitive salary
• 24 days annual leave (plus bank holidays)
• An ambitious, supportive team who will appreciate your hard work and well-placed use of a comma
• Company pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Hybrid working options (2 days from home after successful completion of probation)
• Real influence, your writing will shape our business.
• Free on-site parking at our Wirral Head Office
• A culture that values people, we care about our team. We also remember your birthday (and let you have that off)

We are an equal opportunities employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, and value the unique perspectives each person brings to our team.
