In addition, this position will be responsible for identifying and pursuing strategic growth opportunities with the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal maritime agencies where Marine Group Boat Works' capabilities provide a competitive advantage.
This is not a traditional proposal-writing or RFP-response role. The primary purpose of this position is to identify, qualify, shape, and capture opportunities well before they reach solicitation.
The role will focus on expanding Marine Group Boat Works' federal footprint through opportunities involving vessel repair, maintenance, modernization, ship alterations, installation work, and waterfront services performed both within our shipyard and at government facilities, naval bases, Coast Guard installations, and aboard government vessels throughout the United States and abroad, including both CONUS and OCONUS work opportunities.
Location: Remote work may be considered.

  • Position Marine Group Boat Works for prime and subcontract opportunities.
  • Maintain a qualified opportunity pipeline with estimated value, timing, customer, contract vehicle, probability of win, and next actions.
  • Lead bid/no-bid recommendations in coordination with executive leadership.
  • Coordinate with estimating, contracts, operations, and proposal support teams, but not serve as the primary proposal writer.
  • Provide regular capture updates to executive leadership.

  • Existing relationships within Navy, Coast Guard, federal maritime, or major defense contractor communities.
  • Experience identifying or supporting work performed outside a contractor's home facility, including CONUS and OCONUS field service or shipboard opportunities.
  • Strong judgment, professionalism, and ability to operate independently.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain required security access or clearances.
