I am currently seeking a Proposals Engineer to join a key client of mine based in Cambridgeshire. Salary up to £45,000 + Bonus + Benefits.

This company stands at the forefront of their market, setting global standards and benchmarks. With a dynamic team of experts on-site, they consistently deliver cutting-edge engineering solutions, not only across the nation but also to international destinations around the world.

To cope with the current workload and in line with their expansion plans, they need to recruit for a Proposals Engineer on a permanent basis.

In this role as a Proposals Engineer, you will be responsible for providing quotations and the necessary tender documentation to support the Sales Managers with a view of them hopefully winning the order. This will be a technically focused role and you will be expected to come up with solutions using 2D and 3D CAD. You will also be expected to help create new tools within excel which are used within the proposals process to help generate the quotes. There may also be the need from time to time to attend a customers site / meeting to support the Sales Managers from a technical perspective if this appealed, but this will be infrequent and plenty of notice will be provided.

Essential Requirements:

Heavy Engineering background (ideally materials handling)
* Experience with CAD (either 2D or 3D)
