• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; able to produce clear technical documents and present proposals to clients and internal stakeholders.

• Proficiency with MS Office (Excel for estimating, Word for documents, PowerPoint for presentations) and familiarity with CAD tools or hydraulic calculation software is desirable.

• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple bids to tight deadlines.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Typically 3+ years’ experience in proposal engineering, estimating or design roles for fire fighting or fire protection systems in oil & gas, petrochemical or industrial projects.

• Proven experience liaising with vendors and preparing technical vendor enquiries and evaluations.

• Familiarity with contract types, bid processes and project delivery models used within the oil & gas sector is advantageous.
