    • Manage subcontractor and vendor engagement, including bid outreach, leveling, and scope validation.
    • Ensure all proposal components—technical, commercial, and documentation—are accurate, complete, and compliant.
    • Maintain proposal logs, tracking tools, and historical data to support future bids and continuous improvement.
    • Facilitate internal bid reviews, including scope alignment, risk assessment, and submission readiness.
    • Support client engagement through pre-bid meetings, walkthroughs, and clarifications.
    • Identify opportunities for value engineering and competitive differentiation.
    • Continuously improve proposal processes, templates, and standards to increase efficiency and quality.
    What You Bring
    • Strong organizational and coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple bids in a deadline-driven environment.
    • Ability to balance competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
    • Proficiency reviewing construction drawings, specifications, and telecom infrastructure designs.
    • Working knowledge of structured cabling, fiber optic systems, and data center environments.
    • Understanding of estimating workflows, cost structures, and subcontractor bid processes.
    • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical, operational, and executive teams.
    • Experience identifying risks, scope gaps, and inconsistencies in bid documents.
    • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Bluebeam (or similar), and proposal/estimating tools.
    • High level of accountability, professionalism, and commitment to quality deliverables.
    Experience
    • 5+ years of experience in construction preconstruction, estimating coordination, or proposal management.
    • Experience supporting hyperscale or mission-critical data center projects strongly preferred.
    • Background in telecommunications, structured cabling, or low-voltage systems preferred.
    Education
