- Track submitted bids, follow up with clients, and maintain records of bid outcomes.

3. Client Outreach & Business Development

- Introduce the company’s subcontracting services and establish relationships with potential clients.
- Request invitations to bid and opportunities to quote on upcoming projects.

4. Reporting & Pipeline Management

- Experience in bid management, construction lead generation, tendering, sales, or business development.




- Understanding of construction projects, subcontracting, and the bidding process.
- Strong online research, prospecting, and client communication skills.
- Ability to identify genuine project opportunities rather than collecting unqualified leads.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, email, and CRM tools.
- Good written and verbal English communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple opportunities and meet strict bid deadlines.
- Self-motivated, organised, and target-oriented.

Preferred Experience

- Experience working with Canadian construction companies and subcontractors.
- Familiarity with construction tender platforms, bid boards, and public procurement portals.

Generate a steady pipeline of qualified construction projects, secure invitations to bid, submit competitive proposals, and help the company win profitable subcontracting contracts through consistent lead generation and professional client engagement.

The role should be measured primarily on qualified leads, invitations to bid, and contracts won, rather than simply the number of emails sent or contacts collected.
