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.
