We are currently looking to support our client based in Leatherhead with some available requirements on a Defence and Nuclear project they have at the moment. They require a Bid Coordinator and 2 x Bid Managers.
This will be contract work operating strictly inside IR35 and running for approximately 6 months - although further extensions could be possible. Candidates will need to be based in the office for at least 3 days per week but a hybrid rota is in place allowing for 2 days to be worked from home (maximum).
As this is inside IR35 candidates will not be able to use a limited company and will need to utilise either our in house PAYE payroll or a compliant umbrella payroll organisation. Rates have not been released and expectations will need to be provided in advance - which we can use to provide assistance with estimate net projections if required. Some extra information is given below but if you could be interested please contact me for further information and to apply.
