Continuous Improvement Analyst

Ref#: J023962_1790248828

About the Position

Join our team as a Continuous Improvement Analyst to enhance the consistency and quality of our UK tender process. This role supports the Head of Pre-Construction & Tendering (UK) in establishing and maintaining a resource capacity forecast that converts the live tender pipeline into forecast headcount demand.

Responsibilities

• Tender Process Review

  • Review as-built cable schedules and compare quantities against live projects to mitigate design risk.
  • Review live and completed tenders against the governing tender process and gate requirements, ensuring required deliverables are complete and internally consistent.
  • Review tenders for commercial accuracy in cost build-up logic, escalation and indexation treatment, contingency, and risk provision.
  • Commercially analyse the live tender portfolio against previously built projects to ensure consistency in pricing across the portfolio by project type, complexity, and location.
  • Review the tender process documentation, templates, checklists, and gate deliverable definitions.

• Resource Capacity Forecasting

  • Set up the excel structure to pull project archetypes into a forecast.
  • Apply probability weighting to the pipeline (win probability, stage, customer framework position) so the forecast can reflect likely to deliver as opposed to maximum theoretical demand.
  • Compare forecast demand against current establishment and committed resources to identify required headcount growth.
  • Produce scenario views - win / lose / delay on major opportunities, and best-case and worst-case pipeline conversion - to support recruitment, contractor, and subcontracting decisions.
  • Refresh, publish, and explain the forecast on an agreed monthly cycle.

• Continuous Improvement

  • Identify, prioritise, and lead improvement initiatives across the tendering and pre-construction process, using structured root-cause analysis rather than anecdote.
  • Quantify the benefit case for each initiative before starting and measure the realised benefit afterwards.
  • Look to standardise and automate recurring manual activity within the function to reduce rework and free estimator and bid manager time.
  • Facilitate lessons learned sessions and ensure outputs are converted into changes to process, templates, or norms.
