Marketing Specialist (3-7 years)

At Coffman Engineers, we serve as both prime consultant and sub consultant on projects large and small, including commercial, retail, institutional, government, industrial, and project/construction management. Incorporated in 1979, we have employees in more than 24 locations serving clients across the United States and overseas.

To meet client objectives and to integrate our many disciplines, we can create teams comprised of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and corrosion control, as well as project/construction managers and professionals in a variety of specialty services. This ability has made us a leader in the engineering and construction communities, and has strengthened our reputation as being progressive, innovative, and a great place to work.

Are you an organized, flexible, ambitious, outside-the-box thinker? Do you like working with a large variety of individuals and being part of a rewarding office culture? Do you want to learn and grow your career as part of a growing team? Then we want to hear from you!

The Marketing Specialist at Coffman focuses on the development of prime and subconsultant proposal material, proposal production and data/information management, and representing the department both internally and externally. This role involves collaborating across the company and within the department to achieve objectives, acting as the "go-to" for prime proposal development/production, debriefs, internal/external communication, coordinating client management, and company special events. The Marketing Specialist, while still growing, has knowledge of both architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) marketing and business development (BD) concepts, strategies, and tactics.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for proposal writing, marketing and relationship building to join our team. The right candidate will work with our Marketing Manager and our General Manager to lead and support proposal and marketing efforts while also supporting the office’s business development strategy.

• Develop proposal schedules and draft outlines; coordinate and prepare resumes, project descriptions, and experience write-ups in collaboration with project managers and technical staff.
• Plan, schedule, and facilitate go/no-go discussions with others.
• Review daily subscription services for notices of requests for proposals and qualifications; secure and review solicitation documents, determine internal distribution, and manage opportunity circulation.
• Actively enter data into the CRM and company info database, maintaining data integrity and consistency.
• Maintain relationships with marketing/BD counterparts within Coffman.
• Contribute to training and mentoring engineering staff on marketing/proposal-related best practices as needed.

• Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams, clients, and teaming partners.
