My client are a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of advanced materials handling equipment based in Cambridgeshire. As part of a wider group, they have a reputation for quality and innovation, and the brand is synonymous with intelligent design and durability within their sector.

As part of their ongoing commitment to growth within their markets, they are looking to hire some extra resource into their commercial engineering team, with the recruitment of two Technical Sales Engineers (one mechanically biased, and one electrically biased) into the team. Reporting to the Proposals Manager, this role will be hugely important to both the development of existing client relationships, and the growth of new business within the market.

As Proposals Engineer for my client, you will be heavily involved in several facets of the sales process – from contributing to project solutions and determining costings, to submitting the final proposal, all from the initial enquiry generated from either client based enquiries or working with the sales team on existing projects. My client supply their equipment globally, so the requirements are varied and sometimes your role will see you work as part of project teams across multiple projects, meaning the successful candidate will need to be experienced in a broad engineering role within a sales, project or product engineering background.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:
– Create project solutions including design, costing and full proposal for installation/build
– Check BoM’s of existing products to ensure new designs and amendments are costed effectively and in line with current pricing structures
– Manage multiple proposals, ensuring project timelines are kept up to date for reporting to relevant stakeholders
– Highlight potential risks and resolutions for both internal and external stakeholders in a timely fashion
– Coordinate and hold review meetings with customers, senior management and other team members involved when required
– Accurately complete and submit bid/quotation documentation
– Complete and review internal documentation relevant to the project

Ideally you will be educated to at least HND in a relevant engineering discipline (or comparable vocational experience) with 3-5 years in a project, product, technical sales or proposal engineering based role within the special purpose or materials handling industry. Prior knowledge of submitting proposals and sales documentation is essential, along with a proven track record in delivering project solutions in a commercially focussed role. As a Mechanical biased Proposal Engineer you will need experienced within structural engineering, fabrication and pneumatic/hydraulic systems, the Electrically biased Proposal Engineer will need strong knowledge of electrical control systems used in the power and control of handling equipment or special purpose machinery.

My client offer a competitive salary and benefits package, alongside the chance to work with one of the sectors leading brands across the UK.
