Bid Manager – EPC / Infrastructure Contractor
Location: Lebanon (covering local and regional tenders)
Experience: 20+ years, contractor side
Sector: Civil infrastructure & power – roads, bridges, underground works, PV plants, substations, power plants, transmission lines
About the Role
We are an EPC and infrastructure contractor seeking a senior Bid Manager to lead our tendering function end-to-end: from tender screening and bid/no-bid decisions through pricing, technical proposals, and submission. This is a hands-on contractor-side role — you will own the commercial buildup of bids, not review or evaluate them.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the full tender cycle: prequalification, tender analysis, bid/no-bid recommendation, clarifications, submission, and post-tender negotiations
Direct estimation teams on quantity takeoffs, unit rate buildup, and pricing of civil, electromechanical, and EPC scopes (direct costs, indirects, preliminaries, risk, and margin)
Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate subcontractor and supplier quotations; build procurement-backed pricing
Develop construction methodology, execution programs, and resource/equipment planning as part of the technical offer
Review contract conditions (FIDIC and bespoke), flag commercial and contractual risks, and prepare qualifications and deviations
Coordinate with operations, plant/equipment, procurement, and finance to validate cost assumptions against actual site performance data
Manage bid bonds, guarantees, insurances, and tender submission logistics
Build and maintain a rates database from executed projects
Handle JV/consortium bid structures and partner coordination where applicable
Required Profile
20+ years in tendering/estimation with EPC or civil contractors — this is a firm requirement
Proven track record pricing and winning contractor bids in roads, bridges, underground/heavy civil works, PV, substations, power plants, or transmission lines
Deep knowledge of contractor cost structures: crew productivity rates, equipment costs, temporary works, site overheads
Strong command of FIDIC contract forms from the contractor's perspective
Experience managing subcontractor/supplier pricing and negotiation
BE in Civil or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent); MBA or contract/QS certification a plus
Fluent English and Arabic; French a plus
Based in or willing to relocate to Lebanon; available for regional travel
Important — Please Read Before Applying
This position is strictly for candidates with contractor-side EPC/tendering experience. Candidates whose background is predominantly with design consultancies, engineering consultants, supervision firms, or client-side/PMC roles will not be considered, even with tendering exposure. Your CV should demonstrate hands-on bid pricing and estimation for a contracting company executing works.
