As a key member of a three-person proposals team, I coordinate and write high-quality submissions for VolkerStevin, a civil engineering company that delivers projects in the defence, water, flood, and coastal defence sectors. Examples of submissions include Pre Qualification Questionnaires, Request for Information, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Tenders, and Best and Final Offers to secure future project opportunities for VolkerStevin. I create, manage, format and proofread complex documents, ensuring they meet both VolkerStevin’s and industry standards.In addition to formal submissions, I manage the upkeep of VolkerStevin’s membership portals, including Constructionline, Achilles, and JOSCAR, ensuring compliance with up-to-date information. To highlight VolkerStevin’s achievements, I write award submissions and produce client-facing presentations.Writing accurate and up-to-date content for work-winning, award submissions, or even boilerplate content for our SharePoint bid library requires extensive information gathering. I achieve this by visiting our sites and interviewing subject matter experts.
