Steve is an experienced bid writer who draws on practical knowledge gained from a career spanning engineering, engineering construction, manufacturing, operations management and professional services to quickly understand essential information and convert it into meaningful messaging for clients. 

With more than 20 years of business and operations management experience at the senior management level, Steve understands developing business strategy, effective communication and achieving commercial outcomes. He combines natural curiosity and an enthusiastic engagement style to develop bid responses and documented attributes that engage the intended audience and bring about success.

Steve’s bid writing experience covers public and private sector bids for building construction, civil engineering, roading construction, engineering services, manufacturing, government services, national recruitment services, and local council services.

A highlight to date was leading the complete tender process to win a multi-million national contract off a well-embedded incumbent. Steve developed the pre-positioning strategy, including a nationwide road tour, led the tender response team and used imaginative document presentations to secure an opportunity to present. The well-developed and coordinated presentation led to the award and negotiation of a successful multi-year contract. Steve was also involved in the final contract negotiations, securing, at the time, the company's largest single account.
