Infracon is a full-service civil construction and industrial services company delivering complex infrastructure projects across Western Canada. Built on determination, teamwork, and integrity, Infracon has earned a strong reputation for safely executing challenging work while maintaining long-term relationships with clients, partners, and communities.

About the Role

Reporting to the Estimating Manager, the Proposal Coordinator will take ownership of Infracon's proposal development process from RFP issuance through to submission.

• Regularly follow up with operations, estimating, and leadership teams to ensure adherence to proposal milestones and deadlines
• Create and maintain proposal templates, tools, and content libraries (resumes, project sheets, boilerplate content)
• Ensure all submissions meet formatting, branding, and quality standards
• Maintain marketing and proposal‑related materials
• Maintain detailed notes from project debriefs to support continuous improvement of systems and processes

Experience Required

• Minimum of 2 years of experience coordinating construction RFPs (civil, municipal, mining, or similar fields) or in a junior technical role (e.g., engineering)
• Post‑secondary education in applied science, administration, marketing, business, or a related field preferred
