Marketing Manager

Company Description

At Coffman Engineers, we serve as both prime consultant and sub consultant on projects large and small, including commercial, retail, institutional, government, industrial, and project/construction management. Incorporated in 1979, we have employees in more than 23 locations serving clients across the United States and overseas.

To meet client objectives and to integrate our many disciplines, we can create teams comprised of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and corrosion control, as well as commissioning professionals.

Job Description

Are you a story-teller? Do you have a thorough understanding of the Hawaii and Pacific Rim A/E/C marketplace? Are you able to leverage your network to build and join winning teams? Then we want to hear from you!

Coffman Engineers is looking for the right individual to join our Honolulu office in the role of Marketing Manager. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for building relationships and writing proposals to join our team. The right candidate will focus on crafting winning proposals while supporting the office’s local and Pacific Rim marketing and business development strategy.

Marketing Manager duties:

• Work hand-in-hand with marketing gurus, engineers, various departments, and subconsultants to gather intel, assess prospective clients’ needs, and evaluate the competitive environment.
• Leverage your client network to serve as “matchmaker” by getting Coffman in the door with the right types of clients and positioning us on the best teams to pursue projects that are the right fit.
• Develop and implement proactive, strategic plans to target specific clients, market sectors, and geographic regions throughout Hawaii and the Asia-Pacific.
• Write a plain-English proposal with technically complex concepts that non-technical readers can understand. Each proposal is custom-written – it could be a single page or 30 pages. It could be in response to a government request for proposal or an architect’s request for qualifications. Every situation is different.
• Assist with internal and external messaging through press releases and award preparation.
• Support a variety of local and corporate marketing and BD initiatives.
• Assume the title of master juggler. You will be the detail-focused, schedule-driven, multiple-hat-wearing, punctuation-enforcing, relationship-building marketing manager. You will have an eye for graphic design, a brain for strategic thinking, a passion for collaboration, and a passion for learning new concepts.
  
  
  

You don’t need to have a Ph.D. in technical writing or engineering for the position, but you should have practical, working knowledge of the processes involved in pursuing work through relationships and persuasive writing. A Bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required.

Qualifications

• A positive, can-do attitude and the desire to be part of a team.
• A client-focused ability to communicate effectively, provide a high level of attention to detail, and handle simultaneous deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal skills.
• The ability to maintain flexibility within a large scope of responsibilities.
• The ability to take direction and work independently while staying highly organized.
• Proficiency with MS Office 365 programs (Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint) and Adobe CC (InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat).
  
  
  

This is a job that requires use of both the left and right sides of your brain. Few people can do it well. For the right person, it’s a great job. Your application is your best opportunity to demonstrate the skills we’re looking for.

When you apply, please provide:

• A single-page cover letter that briefly details your experience and describes what drives you personally.
• A resume that includes your professional experience, achievements, and organizational involvement.
• Work samples. Proposals…press releases…strategic plans…we’d love to see them!
  
  
  

Please combine all files into one document to upload with your online application. We look forward to learning more about you!

Expected annual salary of $95,000 - $130,000.

This position is not eligible for sponsorship.
