- Participate in bid reviews, bid leveling, scope leveling, de-scope meetings, scope comparisons, and contract negotiations
- Follow up after proposal submission to address questions, clarify scope, and advance opportunities through the award process
- Present proposals and negotiate pricing, scope, commercial terms, and contracts
- Coordinate with project management and operations following award to support the transition from contract sales to project execution
