  • Perform light website / news updates (personnel changes, wins, announcements).

What You Bring

  • Strong technical writing skills and detail orientation; 1-4+ years in engineering / construction (AEC) proposals or highly relevant RFP-driven environments.
  • Hands-on experience responding to RFPs / RFQs / SOQs with on-time, compliant submittals.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word / PowerPoint) and Adobe InDesign (styles, templates, export).
  • Organized under deadlines; calm communicator who can wrangle SME input.
  • Ability to provide 1-2 writing samples (project blurb + approach / cover letter; redact PII).

    • Bonus Points

  • Prior experience in engineering / construction (AEC) and public sector proposals.
  • Basic Photoshop / Illustrator for imagery; CMS experience for light site updates.
