Proposals Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Proposals Engineer to take ownership of the full bid development process for complex industrial automation and control systems projects.

This is not an entry-level or transitional role. It requires a strong blend of technical solution development, commercial estimating, and proposal delivery, with the ability to interpret client specifications, develop compliant solutions from first principles, and produce commercially compelling submissions.

You will define technical architectures, develop cost estimates and engineering hours, produce proposal documentation, and support customer engagement through clarification meetings, presentations, and post-tender discussions.

The role covers a broad range of control systems technologies, including PLC, SCADA, DCS, SIS, F&G, networks, and system integration, with a strong understanding of project lifecycle delivery, functional safety, and cyber security principles essential.

We’re looking for a proactive, commercially aware engineer with solid industrial controls experience who can work independently, quickly understand new specifications, and deliver high-quality proposals to challenging deadlines. Experience with platforms such as Siemens and Rockwell is advantageous but not essential.

Salary: Up to £45,000, depending upon skills and experience.
