Proposal Engineer developing technical content for complex engineering proposals at Lauren. Collaborating with project teams to ensure alignment and execution of engineering deliverables.
Responsibilities
Independently lead the technical development of proposals from opportunity qualification through submission.
Read, interpret, and distill complex scopes of work, RFPs, and contractual requirements.
Own and prepare the overall technical approach for proposals, including:
• Project execution strategy
• Engineering scope definitions and assumptions
• Risks, exclusions, and mitigations
• MS Project Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 schedules and critical path considerations
• Multi-discipline Engineering deliverables, drawing counts, and discipline interfaces
Deliver the majority of the proposal’s technical content, minimizing downstream engineering rework and handoffs.
Develop proposal-level Project Execution Plans, clearly outlining how work will be delivered if awarded.
Apply strong engineering judgment to ensure proposed scope, schedules, and resourcing are realistic and executable.
Identify engineering, constructability, and delivery risks early, and articulate mitigation strategies.
Act as a consistent technical partner to Project Managers and proposal teams.
Build trusted working relationships with internal stakeholders through reliability, clarity, and technical credibility.
Approach proposals with a business growth mindset—balancing technical excellence, risk awareness, and execution efficiency.
Support continuous improvement of proposal standards, technical templates, and estimating approaches.
