Tender Manager in the Netherlands

As a senior tender manager at BAM Infra Wegen, you look beyond the tender. You want to understand the societal challenge behind the request. Which risks must be managed. Which interests are at play. And how BAM can be the best partner in that.

You bring customer requirements, technology, execution, planning, and commerce together into one convincing story. In this way, you determine which projects BAM realizes and you also help clients fulfill their ambitions.

As a senior tender manager, you want to understand what a client truly wants to achieve. You immerse yourself in the environment, the interests, and the challenges behind the request. Which ambitions are at play? Which risks does the client see? Where are the opportunities to make a difference? And how can BAM demonstrably add value there?
Based on that insight, you and your team develop a strategy with which BAM not only makes a strong offer but, above all, shows why we are the right partner for this challenge.

You are the director of the entire tender process. From the first Go/No-Go assessment to the final offer, you ensure that technology, execution, planning, risks, and price come together in one integral proposal.
In doing so, you do not only manage the process, but especially the quality of the choices we make.

• You immerse yourself in the challenge, interests, and ambitions of the client;
• You develop a tender strategy that aligns with the needs of the customer and the strengths of BAM;
• You connect technology, execution, planning, commerce, price, and risks into one integral proposal;
• You bring specialists from different disciplines together and create support for collective choices;
• You facilitate sharp discussions and ensure that decisions are made on time;
• You also dare to advise against bidding when a project does not sufficiently align with our strategy or risk appetite;
• You can guide clients, partners, and management through complex considerations and substantiated choices.

In this way, you ensure that BAM not only wins projects, but realizes projects that clients consciously choose.

A good tender does not begin with writing.

A good tender begins with listening.

We ensure that you can do your job well. You are given the space to have influence on tenders, project choices, and the further development of the business bureau.

You are curious about the world behind the request.

Not just about technology, but especially about the question behind the question. You want to understand which interests are at play and you get energy from developing solutions that actually add value for clients.

• You can switch between strategy and content, ask critical questions, and bring people with different interests together.
• You know that a good tender does not begin with writing, but with listening.
• You want to win. But more importantly: you want a client to be convinced that BAM is the right partner to realize their challenge.
• HBO or WO working and thinking level, for example in Civil Engineering, Built Environment, or Technical Business Administration;
• Extensive experience with tenders, project management, project realization, or pricing within civil infrastructure;
• Experience with tenders and contract forms such as RAW, UAV-GC, and EMVI;
• The ability to structure complex trajectories and connect multidisciplinary teams;
• Strong communication skills towards colleagues, management, and clients.
