Speculative Application – Bid Assistant (Architecture Practice)
Craft standout proposals, keep deadlines on track and help studios win the work they deserve.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and community for architects, designers—and the marketing professionals who showcase their talent. We work with practices that rely on Bid Assistants to pull together credentials, polish visuals and coordinate submissions for public- and private-sector tenders. Even when these studios aren’t advertising, they ask us to flag promising bid talent, so we keep an active shortlist.
What our clients typically ask for
Experience supporting bids, proposals or marketing collateral—ideally within architecture, engineering, construction or another professional-services field
Confident document layout and editing skills in Adobe InDesign (or similar), plus a knack for gathering boilerplate content and tailoring team CVs
Strong organisation: tracking clarifications, building bid schedules, logging questions and chasing input from directors and consultants
Clear, concise writing that turns technical information into compelling narratives and case studies
Familiarity with portals such as Proactis, Delta eSourcing or Jaggaer, and comfort navigating PQQ, SQ and ITT processes
A proactive, deadline-driven mindset that keeps multiple submissions moving and calm under pressure
If your portfolio shows tidy layouts, persuasive copy and reliable coordination, we’d love to hear from you.
Why Register With Architecture Social
Early access to opportunities comes as standard—many practices brief us before bid-support roles hit the open market. We match your sector interests, software strengths and growth goals with the right environment, then back you with salary benchmarks, portfolio feedback and a discreet recruitment process that keeps you in control. Inside the Architecture Social platform you can also join peer forums, attend skill-building webinars and tap into practical career tools.
