Proposal Coordinator

Job Title: Proposal Coordinator

 250 employees across the state. We’re 100% Arizona owned and managed, which means you’ll never feel like a number here. Our team delivers a full spectrum of services - civil engineering, surveying, geotechnical and materials testing, environmental, and EHS - giving you exposure to many paths and projects.

Alta is big enough to offer opportunities, and advanced technology - yet small enough that you’ll know your team, see your impact, and have leadership that knows you.

We’re proud to be a trusted partner to some of the nation’s largest corporations, developers, and public agencies - helping to build the future, while also protecting it through environmental stewardship and sustainable solutions.

• Prepare, organize, and submit client proposals primarily for geotechnical and CMT opportunities, with support for Survey, Civil, Environmental, and other multidisciplinary pursuits as needed.

• Coordinate with Project Managers, Professional Engineers, Geologists, estimators, and technical staff to gather scope information, pricing inputs, schedules, and supporting content.
• Track proposal status from initial request through submission, client follow-up, signed proposal receipt, and handoff for awarded work.
• Follow up with clients regarding submitted proposals, pending signatures, proposed work, and next steps.
• Edit, format, proofread, and assemble proposal documents for consistency, accuracy, branding, and quality.
• Maintain proposal calendars, opportunity trackers, estimating communication logs, and internal deadlines.
• Organize and maintain proposal templates, project descriptions, resumes, certifications, and commonly used proposal materials.
• Support Marketing, Business Development, and technical staff with proposal-related coordination, client communication, pursuit tracking, and administrative follow-through.

• Two (2) or more years of experience coordinating proposals, marketing, or administrative support in the engineering, architecture, construction, or professional services industry preferred.
