Description: Ex controls engineer with exhaustive systems knowledge required to devise technically strong tender and proposals for an innovative consultancy environment.
Salary: to £40k plus benefits
Our client is renowned as a market leader in the provision of innovative and bespoke integrated systems to the transportation infrastructure industry. Offering a range of highest quality services that encompass Project Management and Implementation, Consultancy and Software Development to blue chip clients worldwide, as a result of continued success and an ongoing planned programme of strategic growth, they are now seeking to recruit an experienced Senior Technical Proposals Engineer to support the highly successful Sales team.
Reporting directly to the Commercial Manager, with additional support provided initially by both the Technical Director and the highly motivated and dynamic sales force, the successful candidate will be responsible for the generation of highest quality proposals and tender documentation that will ensure continued success and the securing of additional desired business projects, leading in turn to required growth and revenue targets being achieved.
To be considered for this exceptional opportunity, you will have gained exposure to the controls industry ideally, and will demonstrate skills and experience in effective multiple project costing, working from an initial design or project specification and considering all aspects from labour and material costs through to subcontractor liaison and materials availability, generating realistic, attractive and profitable proposals whilst working under your own initiative.
You will possess hands on hardware design experience (eg control systems / PLC panels or ethernet switches) alongwith formal structure coding experience (PLC, C and large SCADA packages such as FactoryLink or Scope X), and will have proven turnkey project implementation experience from design through to implementation and ongoing client support, with additional experience of realtime plant control algorithm and information system design (PID, state machines or expert systems) proving distinctly advantageous. Familiarity with ethernet integration / video-audio data handling (QoS, Mpeg etc) and current industry standards including BS61508 will also prove invaluable.
Additionally, it is essential that you possess an articulate, dynamic and effective style of communication as you will be ultimately responsible for presenting the business proposal to clients as part of the winning sales team.
