THE ROLE

From Conceptual Studies to Turnkey Projects. This role is pivotal in securing new business by developing competitive, compliant, and customer-focused bids. It requires cross-functional coordination, strategic input, and technical leadership throughout the bid lifecycle.

The Bid Project Engineer will work closely with the Sales team to ensure efficient execution of the company’s rigorous bidding process.

The role involves coordinating technical interactions across all functional areas of the business—including Technical, Engineering, Commercial Project Management, and Supply Chain Management departments. The BPE will also play a key role in building relationships with external stakeholders such as customers, subcontractors, suppliers, consortium partners, and other Primetals business units.

Flexibility is essential, as the role requires adapting to shifting priorities, scopes, and timescales, while managing multiple proposals simultaneously.

Regular international travel, often at short notice, is required.

• Organise regular reviews of the proposal, including design reviews, benchmarking, and internal approval meetings.

• Prepare technical alignment documents with consortium partners, where applicable.

• Participate in technical and commercial meetings with customers. Prepare minutes of meeting and co-ordinate efforts on the actions needed.
