Are you an experienced engineer with a background in automation, process control, PLC and SCADA systems looking to take the next step in your career? Perhaps you’re currently working for a systems integrator and are ready to move into an applications, solutions or solution-architect type role? This could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Reporting to the Senior Proposals Manager, you’ll play a key role in developing innovative technical solutions and high-quality proposals for a diverse range of customers. From PLC and SCADA projects through to digital solutions and full turnkey systems, no two proposals will be the same.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing detailed technical proposals for PLC, SCADA, automation and process control solutions
- Working on projects ranging from system upgrades, training and service-level agreements through to digital solutions, management information systems and full turnkey solutions
- Defining the initial engineering solution and preparing accurate estimates
- Producing quotations and tenders, including supporting technical information
- Creating detailed quotation cost spreadsheets covering hardware, software and engineering requirements
- Obtaining supplier pricing and liaising with engineering teams to establish accurate timescales and engineering resource requirements
- Working closely with customers and sales teams to fully understand their technical and commercial requirements
- Undertaking customer site visits where required
- Building and maintaining strong, professional customer relationships
- Responding promptly and professionally to customer requirements
