- **Role Overview**:
- We are seeking a Senior Tender Manager to serve as the commercial engine of our high-stakes infrastructure bids. Reporting directly to the Senior VP (Contracts & Procurement), you will hold end-to-end ownership of the commercial strategy and pricing for mega-infrastructure projects valued at S$200M and above. This is a "sleeves-up" leadership role designed for a veteran professional who thrives on technical rigor and the complexity of Singapore’s most critical LTA and PUB tenders.
- **Key Responsibilities**:
- **Drive 1st-Principles Costing:** Lead the estimation process by building comprehensive cost models from scratch, breaking down labor, plant, and productivity rates rather than relying on historical benchmarking.
- **Lead Mega-Tender Submissions:** Manage and coordinate the full lifecycle of major infrastructure bids (LTA/PUB), ensuring all commercial and technical inputs align with winning strategies.
- **Strategic Commercial Oversight:** Translate technical method statements into competitive commercial pricing strategies, ensuring accuracy in margins and technical-commercial compliance.
- **Team Coordination & Management:** Oversee and mentor a dedicated team of estimators and commercial staff, fostering a high-performance environment focused on accuracy and meeting authority deadlines.
- **Stakeholder Collaboration:** Partner with engineering and planning teams to ensure a unified approach to project bids, while providing strategic updates directly to senior leadership.
- **Requirements**:
- **Minimum/Core Requirements:**
- At least 15 years of demonstrated experience in infrastructure tendering, with a specific focus on the Singapore market (e.g., LTA/PUB sectors).
- Expert-level mastery of 1st-principles cost build-up, with the ability to independently develop rates for labor, plant, and materials.
- Proven track record of leading and winning high-value civil engineering bids exceeding S$200M.
- Extensive experience working within an A1 Main Contractor environment.
- Strong leadership capabilities with experience coordinating multi-disciplinary bid teams.
- **Preferred/Bonus Requirements:**
- Specialized background in heavy civil works such as MRT, roads, sewerage, or drainage infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate technical methodology seamlessly into commercial cost structures.
- **Why you should be interested**:
- **Strategic Autonomy:** Lead the commercial strategy for Singapore’s most significant infrastructure projects with direct visibility and reporting to the Senior Vice President.
- **Foundational Impact:** Play a critical role in maintaining the project pipeline for an SGX-listed industry leader during a pivotal phase of growth.
- **Complex Problem Solving:** Engage with technically challenging mega-projects that require deep expertise and offer significant professional reward.
- **Leadership Visibility:** Join a team where your technical mastery and commercial intuition are recognized as vital to the organization’s success.
- Ready to lead the bids that build Singapore’s future? We look forward to hearing from you.
