Tender Specialist

As our Tender Specialist you'll play a key role in some of the world's most exciting renewable technology projects. We're passionate about our work and love driving innovation to shape a sustainable future. In this role, you’ll be the bridge between client needs and winning proposals, shaping project scopes, translating technical and commercial input into clear plans, and ensuring strategic, well-founded bids. You will work closely with engineering, procurement, and commercial teams to ensure competitive and compliant bid submissions. 

Anchoring Your Impact: 
 

• You'll define clear project scopes based on client requests, ensuring a solid foundation for each proposal. You will analyse tender documents, client specifications, and project requirements to develop comprehensive technical submissions. 

• Ensure proposals align with industry standards, project requirements, and best practices. 

• You have a clear technical understanding of the request, have the ability to identify gaps, reading between the lines of requests to put together clarification questions. 

• With input from specialists, you'll craft compelling technical proposals that translate complex solutions into clear, persuasive plans.  

• By providing accurate estimates for work hours and project timelines, you'll help set realistic expectations.  

• Together with company leadership, you'll refine bid strategies to make sure we put forward the strongest possible offer.   

You’ve got it:   
  

• You have a proactive approach and are keen to engage with other members of the team to further understanding or clarify technical queries. 

• You have a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in the offshore cable / pipeline installation sector.  

• You have 3+ years of experience in tendering, cost estimation, and technical bid preparation. 

• It would be considered a plus if you have experience in working in the offshore division of a transmission system operator, offshore wind farm developer, or marine contractor. 

• You will be on top of our list if you have commercial experience either in tendering or estimating budgets/hours for projects. 

• You hold a bachelor in Engineering or similar. A master’s degree in Offshore Engineering or similar would be preferred. 

• Your communication skills? We value them highly.  

• Going the extra mile for the team? You’re the first one to raise your hand. 

• When a project takes an unexpected turn, you don't panic. You quickly weigh the options, make a plan and adapt. 

Why you'll love it here: 

• 25 holidays on a full-time basis (and the possibility of buying more if 25 just isn't enough!) 

• Your future covered with a pension plan* 

• You can work from everywhere: from home or from one of our offices in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark. 

• You own your schedule – plan your workday in the way that works best for you. 

• Our bonus scheme based on personal and company goals 

• Embrace lifelong learning with our very own Primo Academy and develop yourself a bit more every day. 

• Enjoy our special Primo culture! A BBQ to celebrate the opening of a new office, monthly Lunch & Learn sessions, Thursday afternoon drinks at the terrace or joining our running club (participation not mandatory 😉) - only this enables the excellent results we achieve.
