- Translate complex technical information into clear, professional visual content.
Document Production
- Create and format high-quality proposal documents in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and InDesign (if used).
- Support graphic production in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop).
- Create and amend CVs and project case studies.
Content & Library Management
- Maintain and update the company’s bid library, including case studies, CVs, project information, and templates.
- Support continuous improvement of bid processes and resources.
Stakeholder Collaboration
- Work closely with Bid Managers, engineers, project teams, and senior leadership to gather and present information.
- Assist with presentations and pitch materials for client meetings.
