  • Act as the central coordination point for proposal inputs across internal teams, JV partners and designers
  • Ensure robust document control, version management and submission processes using approved platforms
  • Maintain and develop proposal libraries and act as a knowledge lead within the regional and national proposals team

  • Exceptional written communication and editing skills
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
  • High attention to detail and a commitment to quality
  • Advanced skills in MS Word and Adobe Acrobat Pro (Creative Cloud advantageous)
  • A collaborative, proactive approach and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders
  • Infrastructure or civil engineering sector experience (highly desirable)
