Bid Administrator

_{29th October, 2026}

Start your career in bids and proposals with a national engineering consultancy.

Every new project starts with a winning proposal. At BSE, our bid team pulls together the people, experience and ideas that help us win work across New South Wales and Queensland. We're looking for an organised, detail-focused Bid Administrator to help them do it.

This is an entry level role based in our North Sydney or Brisbane office. You don't need bid experience. If you enjoy getting documents right, keeping on top of deadlines and working with a supportive team, we'll teach you the rest.

What you'll do
You'll support our National Bid Advisor and our NSW and QLD State Leads to prepare and submit tenders and proposals. Day to day, you will:

• Format, proofread and assemble bid documents so they look professional and meet the client's requirements
• Keep our library of staff CVs, project profiles and company information current and easy to find
• Track deadlines and help keep each submission on schedule
• Check that every document required by the tender is included before it goes out
• Help upload submissions to client tender portals
• Keep records of submissions and results up to date
• Provide general administrative support to the bid team

What you'll bring

• Strong attention to detail and pride in well presented work
• Good organisation and the ability to juggle a few tasks against deadlines
• Clear written English and confidence working with people at all levels
• Solid skills in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• A willingness to learn and ask questions

It would be great, but not essential, if you've used Total Synergy, Adobe InDesign, SharePoint, a CRM or online tender portals, or worked in an office or administration role before.

What we offer

• Hybrid working: one day a week from home
• On-the-job training and mentoring from an experienced bid team, with room to grow your career in bids and proposals
• Formal training and professional development
• A supportive culture that values wellbeing, work-life balance and diversity
• Exposure to a wide range of building projects across Australia
• A North Sydney office close to public transport
• Open to this role being based in Brisbane
