Proposal Manager

Ruby-Collins, Inc.
Atlanta, GA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/31/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/28/2026

Build the Future of Water Infrastructure

At Ruby-Collins, we don’t just build pipelines and treatment plants; we build the literal lifelines of communities. With a 55-year legacy and over $3 billion in successfully delivered projects, we are looking for a strategic Proposals Manager to lead our work acquisition efforts and shape the next chapter of our growth.


This is more than a writing role. As a critical leader within our Business Development and Marketing team, you will be the "strategic storyteller" behind our most complex pursuits, including Design-Build and CMAR projects.


The Impact You’ll Make

  • Lead the Win: You will own the full proposal lifecycle—from the initial "Go/No-Go" and capture planning to the final polished submission.
  • Strategic Storytelling: You’ll translate technical engineering concepts into persuasive, client-focused narratives that highlight our value proposition.
  • 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

  • AEC Expertise: 5 years of marketing experience within Architecture, Engineering, or Construction.
  • 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.
  • Leadership Presence: The ability to command a room, manage executive-level stakeholders, and thrive under hard deadlines.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or a related field.


Why Ruby-Collins?

We are an employee-owned company that treats our people as our greatest asset. Our culture is grounded in safety, respect, and the power of in-person collaboration.

  • Collaborative Environment: This is a 100% on-site role based at our Smyrna, GA headquarters, where you will work side-by-side with our executive leadership and operations teams.
  • 100% Company-Paid Premiums: Medical, Dental, and Vision for you and your entire family.
  • Financial Security: 401(k) with company match, plus company-paid STD, LTD, and Life Insurance.
  • Award-Winning Culture: Consistently named one of the Southeast’s "Best Places to Work."
  • Stability & Growth: A 55-year history of excellence with clear paths for advancement.
