The role
As a Proposals Engineer / Applications Engineer, you’ll support the full tendering and proposal process for aftermarket parts and engineered components.
You’ll review customer RFQs, interpret technical specifications, prepare technical and commercial proposals, generate cost estimates and support customer clarifications through to final negotiation and internal handover.
