The Proposal Manager reviews and interprets the RFP/RFQ, engages discipline engineering leads and supporting functions (HSE, quality, procurement/contracts, construction management) to compile the technical response, effort-hour estimates, and win strategy, and partners with resource/department managers to identify the right team if the pursuit is successful. Unlike a traditional proposal/marketing coordinator role, this position is project-focused: the incumbent is expected to bring hands-on experience as a Project Manager, Project Engineer, or Project Specialist on mining and metals projects, and to apply that technical and execution knowledge directly to shaping the technical response, scope, execution strategy, and staffing plan for each pursuit.
