There’s no better place to build your career
Join a winning team…
Wates has just enjoyed one of our best years ever, and our Bid team played a key role in supporting that success.
It’s not just about writing bids. There are a huge range of roles from bid proposal managers to estimators, project management, graphic designers, building information modelling (BIM), 4d modellers and more. Once you’re here, you can also tap into opportunities across the group.
At Wates, we believe in actively identifying talent and nurturing it. We make sure everyone has opportunities to develop and take their career to the next level. If we think you’re 80% ready for that next step, and you’re up for the challenge, we’ll help you take it.
Help your career
About you...
Whether you’re an experienced bid writer, fancy a career change, or are returning to work after a break, we’d love to hear from you.
If you don’t have industry experience, don’t worry. In our bid team, we value a variety of transferable skills you may already possess, such as writing, attention to detail, project management, and relationship building.
That’s why our team includes people from diverse backgrounds, including law, education, and finance. What matters most to us is finding the right people with the right mindset to succeed.
