We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Technical Proposal Engineer – Civil to join the pre-construction and bids team, supporting the development of competitive, technically robust proposals for major civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

The role will focus primarily on developing and supporting earthworks and drainage strategies for tender submissions, working closely with estimating, engineering, design, planning, and commercial teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Civil Engineer with a background in construction, infrastructure, estimating, tendering, or pre-construction who wants to develop their technical and commercial understanding while working on major energy and infrastructure projects.

• Support the estimating team in preparing earthworks and drainage methodologies for bid and tender submissions.
• Review and analyze bid documents, specifications, drawings, and preliminary designs to develop appropriate technical strategies.
• Collaborate with design, planning, estimating, and commercial teams to ensure technical inputs are aligned with project requirements.
• Develop technical narratives, sketches, calculations, data tables, and supporting documentation for proposal submissions.
• Research site conditions, materials, construction methods, and relevant technical requirements for individual bids.
• Identify potential construction challenges, technical risks, and opportunities during the tender process.
• Participate in technical review meetings and coordinate actions associated with proposal inputs.
• Manage and maintain technical documentation throughout the bid process.
• Ensure technical submissions are accurate, compliant, commercially aligned, and delivered within required deadlines.
• Support continuous improvement of proposal methodologies, templates, technical content, and bid processes.

The role will provide exposure to a range of civil engineering and infrastructure requirements, including:

• Earthworks and site grading strategies.
• Cut and fill analysis and material balance considerations.
• Drainage and surface water management.
• Site access, roads, hardstands, and associated infrastructure.
• Ground conditions, materials, and construction methodologies.
• Preliminary civil layouts and design coordination.
• Construction sequencing and methodology.
• Environmental and site constraints affecting civil works.
• Coordination between civil design, construction, estimating, and commercial requirements.
• Review tender documentation and identify key technical requirements, deliverables, and constraints.
• Assist in developing technical methodologies and construction approaches for civil works.
• Support the preparation of compliant technical responses and proposal narratives.
• Coordinate technical information between estimating, engineering, planning, and commercial teams.
• Review technical requirements against project specifications and client expectations.
• Assist with identifying project risks, assumptions, exclusions, and potential opportunities.
• Ensure proposal inputs are properly documented and submitted within required timelines.
