Proposal Coordinator
Summary

At Newcastle Engineering we have been bringing together capable and passionate people to deliver the highest level of design and engineering work to our clients for almost three decades. We love the challenge of solving complex problems with simple solutions and are focused on land development, municipal infrastructure, and construction projects. And we know that great communication is just as important as great engineering.

As our team grows, we’re looking for a Proposal Coordinator to join us at our office in Nanaimo, BC. In this role, you’ll support our business development efforts by producing high-quality proposals that showcase who we are and what we do best. You’ll work closely with subject matter experts (project managers, engineers, and technical staff) to translate their expertise into clear, compelling content. If you love writing, editing, organizing, and collaborating to get great work out the door, we want to hear from you.

You bring strong writing skills, an eye for detail, and the kind of focus that thrives under a tight deadline. You’re comfortable working independently but enjoy being part of a team. You’re organized, curious, and always looking for ways to make processes smoother and results stronger.

Our Ideal Candidate
  • 2-6+ years of experience preparing proposals, grant applications, or similar business communications.
  • Diploma or degree in communications, marketing, English, journalism, business administration, or a related writing-focused field.
  • Strong business or technical writing skills.
  • Clear and professional communication in both short-form and long-form written communication, including emails, memos, and executive summaries.
  • Comfortable proofreading and editing content written by others.
  • Familiar with proposal formatting, document layout, and version control. Experience with Adobe Creative Suite is a plus.
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); basic knowledge of Microsoft Project is helpful.
  • Experience in a consulting or engineering environment is an asset, but not required.

 

Location:
  • Nanaimo, BC
  • In-person
Your Work with Us

  • Work with project teams to gather and customize content, identifying opportunities to improve clarity and persuasiveness.
  • Maintain proposal materials and templates to help us continuously improve our submissions.
