Act as an escalation point for proposal execution issues, resource conflicts, or delivery risks, working with managers to resolve them. Support the continuous improvement of proposal tools, templates, processes, and workflows through feedback and lessons learned. Collaborate closely with Proposal Managers, Business Development, Estimating, Operations, and Content teams to ensure alignment and smooth execution. Contribute to team engagement and retention by fostering a collaborative, accountable, and development‑focused team environment.
What You Bring to The Team:
4–6+ years of experience in proposal coordination, proposal management, or a related role, preferably within utilities, construction, or infrastructure.

High proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Adobe Acrobat; experience with bid portals is required. Ability to identify execution risks, manage priorities, and support teams through competing demands. APMP Foundation or Practitioner certification preferred; advanced certifications considered an asset.
The expected pay range for this role is $85,000 - $105,000 per year. Individual pay is determined based on several factors, including work location, education, experience, unique skills and job conditions.
