Job Description

Do you want to join our Geo-data revolution? Fugro’s global reach and unique know-how will put the world at your fingertips. Our love of exploration and technical expertise help us to provide our clients with invaluable insights. We source and make sense of the most relevant Geo-data for their needs, so they can design, build and operate their assets more safely, sustainably and efficiently. But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role:

Are you ready to be at the forefront of driving strategic proposals that shape the future of our industry? Fugro is looking for a Proposal Manager to lead and coordinate cross-service line proposals, developing client relationships and contributing to our profitable growth strategy. This exciting role will have you writing proposals, pricing work, reviewing risks, gaining management approval, and negotiating project contracts. You'll be supported by various departments specializing in different disciplines.

Working within the UK Land Site Characterisation team, you'll liaise with technical, commercial, tax, legal, and strategic sales & marketing colleagues from different offices to ensure alignment and cohesion of Fugro’s proposed solutions. Locally, you'll consult heavily with geotechnical operational teams and project delivery teams within our hub offices to ensure that proposed solutions are safe, profitable, and risk is appropriately mitigated. For projects outside the UK, you'll collaborate with global offices to find the optimal proposal structure.

If you're passionate about making a significant impact, building strong client relationships, and driving profitable growth strategies, this role is perfect for you.

Who we’re looking for:

Your role will be pivotal as the central point of contact for the wider Fugro team, contributing to the production of proposals and integrating input into broader Fugro Group tenders. You'll expertly evaluate technical and commercial risks, ensuring they are managed, priced, or transferred appropriately. Your skills in commercial and technical negotiation will be crucial in securing contract awards, making sure proposed solutions are not only safe and profitable but also meticulously risk managed.

You'll prepare and present comprehensive technical and commercial tender handover packages to project managers, ensuring every detail is in line with the Fugro PM Handbook and LSC systems. This role is perfect for someone with a bachelor’s degree in Geotechnical, Civil Engineering, Earth Science, or a similar field, who is ready to step into a position of significant responsibility and impact.

By giving you the freedom to grow faster, we think you’ll be able to do what you do best, better. Which should help us to find fresh ways to get to know the earth better. We encourage you to be yourself at Fugro. So bring your energy and enthusiasm, your keen eye and can-do attitude. But bring your questions and opinions too. Because to be the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, we need the strength in depth that comes from a diverse, driven team.

• Extensive career & training opportunities both nationally and internationally.

• Competitive salary accompanied by an attractive package including contributory pension scheme
