Every plant we build starts with a bid. You’ll lead them.
Before we design a plant or set foot on site, someone has to win the work. As a Bid Manager, that’s you. You’ll lead bids for turnkey design and build water treatment projects. Most are $0.5m to $10m, and some go up to $30m. You’ll take each one from strategy to contract signing, then hand it over so the project manager is set up to succeed.
Filtec designs, builds and looks after water and wastewater treatment plants across New Zealand and Australia. In over 30 years we’ve worked with every council in New Zealand and many of the country’s biggest manufacturers.
We’re well established and growing fast, with offices in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Melbourne and Brisbane. We’re winning bigger work. But we’re still a tight team that moves quickly and always looks for a better way. With councils rolling out Local Water Done Well, there’s a lot of water infrastructure to deliver over the next decade. We’re helping build it.
You’ll report to our New Business Manager and join a team of three bid managers in New Zealand. We’re selective about what we chase. We talk to councils and consultants for months before a tender comes out, and when we go for something, we go all in. It means the bids you work on are ones we’re serious about winning.
Each bid has a small team behind it. Our process engineers design the solution, our engineering team builds the estimate, and you bring it all together. Within your first year, you’ll be running two bids at once.
Most bids run six to eight weeks. Run well, they stay on programme. But the deadline doesn’t move, so the last week or two can mean long days. The engineers you rely on are busy on other jobs too. You’ll need to keep your bid at the top of their list without pulling rank. Most bids also need a site visit, so expect to travel about once a month, usually there and back in a day. In return, you’ll have a real hand in what Filtec builds next, and you’ll see the projects you won come to life.
New to water? That’s OK. There’s more involved in getting water to your tap than most people realise, and we’ll help you learn it.
We set a high bar, and we look after each other while we clear it.
Based in Auckland. We’ll consider other parts of New Zealand for the right person, as long as you communicate well and stay closely connected to the team.
