Job description

Position Objective:

The Construction Technical Proposal & Business Development Specialist supports the rapid expansion of Norconsult Telematics’ Construction and PMC practice by leading proposal preparation, identifying new business opportunities, and strengthening market visibility. This position requires a self-driven and fast-learning professional capable of independently developing complete technical proposals based on limited inputs from technical and functional leads. The candidate must be able to synthesize and integrate multiple solution components—including methodology, organization, resource planning, and commercial structure—into a cohesive, compliant, and compelling submission. The ideal candidate has strong writing skills, deep knowledge of the Saudi construction and consultancy market, and proven experience working with PMC or engineering consulting firms.

Job Description & Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate the preparation of technical and commercial proposals for construction, PMC, and facility management projects.
• Independently compile and structure full technical proposals using minimal guidance from discipline experts, ensuring all sections are logically integrated and aligned.
• Review all proposal inputs (technical, managerial, contractual, and commercial) to ensure consistency, accuracy, and professional presentation.
• Develop detailed proposal sections, including execution methodologies, work plans, resource structures, project timelines, and reference projects.
• Maintain and enhance the proposal knowledge base (templates, CVs, project sheets, visuals, and standard content).
• Work closely with internal stakeholders (Design, Construction, Procurement, Contracts, PMO) to gather, validate, and integrate content.
• Identify and monitor tender opportunities through platforms such as Etimad, EXPRO, NEOM, RC, and STC.
• Conduct market research to support pipeline planning, pricing intelligence, and competitive analysis.
• Build and sustain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and industry partners.
• Develop and customize corporate presentations, profiles, and capability statements.
• Collaborate with the BD and Marketing teams to create LinkedIn content, project highlights, and promotional material that reflect the Construction Division’s capabilities.
• Maintain an organized CRM and lead tracking system, documenting all BD activities and proposal outcomes.
• Support client presentations, clarifications, and negotiations when required.
• Ensure all submissions comply with company branding, templates, and proposal management procedures.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or Business Administration.
• 5–8 years of relevant experience in technical proposal writing, business development, or tendering within construction consultancy or PMC.
• Demonstrated experience in Saudi Arabia with local market knowledge and established professional connections.
• Prior experience in PMC or major engineering consultancy firms preferred.
• Proven ability independently produce complete technical proposals with minimal supervision.
• Excellent writing, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Familiarity with public-sector procurement systems such as Etimad and EXPRO.
• Membership or registration with the Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE) is preferred.
