Speculative Application – Bid Coordinator (Architecture Practice)
Own the submission schedule, craft persuasive narratives and turn credentials into contract wins.
Who We Are
Architecture Social is a recruitment partner and community that supports architects, designers—and the proposal specialists who secure their most exciting commissions. We work with practices that depend on Bid Coordinators to steer tender processes, refine messaging and protect deadlines. Even when these studios aren’t advertising, they ask us to keep them updated on exceptional bid talent—so we maintain an active shortlist.
What our clients typically ask for
3–5 years’ bid-coordination experience in architecture, engineering, construction or a related professional-services sector
Fluency in Adobe InDesign (or similar) for polished layouts, plus a proven knack for tailoring CVs, case studies and methodology responses
Clear, confident writing and editing skills—able to translate technical input into client-focused narratives
Methodical scheduling and compliance: drafting bid programmes, assigning actions, tracking clarifications and ensuring every requirement in PQQs, SQs or ITTs is met
Portal and platform know-how: comfortable submitting through e-tendering portals (Proactis, Delta eSourcing, Jaggaer) and managing document control on project information systems such as BIW, Asite or Aconex
Collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset that keeps architects, consultants and directors aligned—no matter how tight the turnaround
If your submissions show polished layouts, persuasive storytelling and bullet-proof coordination, we’d love to hear from you.
