- Interview Coaching: You won't just prep the deck; you’ll coach our technical experts to deliver high-stakes shortlist presentations.
- Visual Excellence: Utilizing Adobe Creative Suite, you’ll ensure our brand is reflected in high-end infographics and visual communication.
- Process Leadership: You’ll maintain our Unanet CRM and proposal libraries, ensuring our data is as precise as our construction.
What You Bring to the Table

- Pursuit Mastery: 2 years focused on pursuit strategy (Water/Wastewater market experience is a major plus).
- The Toolkit: Expert-level proficiency in Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office Suite.
