What you will do

As Proposals Engineer you will be responsible for the design and proposal of hydraulic control and chemical injection equipment projects for the oil and gas market.

How you will do it

You will have a high level of detailed technical knowledge of Hydraulic Power Units, Chemical Injection Packages, Wellhead Control Panels, Topside Umbilical Termination Units and Chemical Distribution Packages.  As the Proposals Engineer you will be given Customer specifications for this equipment which you will review and extract the relevant detail, design the system, generate calculations for sizing, generate schematic and general arrangement drawings in conjunction with the CAD team, produce a bill of materials, generate supplier RFQs and pass to the Bid Supplier Manager for pricing, obtain hours from the appropriate stakeholders and generate a complete cost build up.  You will guide the client in deviations and clarifications against specification and be confident making and documenting necessary assumptions.  You will create a winning proposal that is functional and cost effective always focusing on client deadlines.

You will attend, either virtually or in person, Bid Clarification Meetings with the client and represent the company in a professional manner, going through several rounds of technical change and refinement until the client has accepted all outstanding points.
