Employment Type: Full Time
Position Overview
Kiewit's Energy proposal team is seeking a Sr. Proposal Specialist to lead the development of client-focused proposals, qualifications packages and other pursuit-related deliverables that support the successful acquisition of new work.
In Kiewit's Energy Group, the Sr. Proposal Specialist serves as a proposal lead for a variety of pursuits, partnering with business development, operations, engineering, estimating and subject matter experts to develop compliant, compelling and strategically aligned submittals. This role requires an individual who can independently manage proposal development efforts from solicitation release through final submission while balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Successful candidates possess a strong foundation in proposal management and require minimal day-to-day oversight to execute the core responsibilities of the role as described under Key Responsibilities. They understand how to interpret client-provided RFx and procurement documents to drive the development of project-specific compliance matrices and a proposal management plan that will guide the pursuit team's proposal development efforts. This individual is also responsible for drafting and refining content into clear, evaluator-focused responses that are driven by compliance, and where appropriate, strategic messages. While strategy development is a collaborative effort led by pursuit leadership, the Sr. Proposal Specialist is expected to contribute to strategic discussions by identifying differentiators, incorporating client-focused messaging and helping translate technical and operational concepts into compelling proposal content.
