Due to continued growth, WES, part of the RSE Group, is looking for a Trainee Proposals Engineer to join us on a permanent basis at our Basingstoke office. Working as part of the Proposals team, this role offers an excellent opportunity to develop a career in technical proposals and estimating within the water industry. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you will receive support and guidance to develop the technical and commercial knowledge required to prepare proposals and quotations for WES chemical dosing solutions. The Trainee Proposals Engineer will assist with reviewing client enquiries, interpreting technical requirements, developing cost estimates and preparing proposal documentation. You will work with teams across Engineering, Project Delivery, Production and Site Operations, gaining exposure to the full pre-contract process from initial enquiry through to project handover. As your knowledge and experience develop, you will take increasing responsibility for preparing your own quotations and proposals, providing a clear development pathway towards becoming a Proposals Engineer. Some of Your Key Duties Include: Assist with the preparation of technical and commercial proposals, quotations and tender submissions for chemical dosing projects. Review client enquiries, specifications, drawings, scopes of work and tender documentation with support from experienced members of the Proposals team. Develop an understanding of WES chemical dosing systems, standard products and engineering solutions and how these are applied to different client requirements. Assist with the development of appropriate technical solutions in collaboration with Engineering, Project Delivery, Production and Site Operations teams. Support the preparation of project cost estimates using standard costs, previous project information and supplier/subcontractor quotations. Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain quotations, technical information and equipment lead times. Assist with the preparation of proposal documentation, including project scope, technical information, pricing, assumptions and exclusions. Support the review of client specifications and help identify areas requiring technical or commercial clarification. Attend site assessment visits alongside experienced colleagues to develop an understanding of existing installations, site conditions and project requirements. Develop the ability to interpret engineering documentation including drawings, P&IDs, equipment schedules and technical specifications. Support responses to client technical and commercial clarification questions during the proposal and tender process. Maintain accurate records of enquiries, quotations, costings and supporting documentation to ensure effective traceability. Assist with maintaining and developing standard costs, proposal templates, credentials, case studies and standard product information. Develop an understanding of the principles of standardisation and productisation and how these are applied across WES chemical dosing solutions. Support the handover of secured projects to the Project Delivery team, helping ensure relevant proposal, technical and commercial information is communicated effectively. Work collaboratively with colleagues across WES and the wider RSE Chemical and Biological Treatment portfolio. Develop an understanding of commercial awareness, project costs and the importance of producing accurate and deliverable proposals. Ensure all activities comply with relevant Company management systems and procedures, including Health and Safety requirements. What Do You Need? HNC, HND, BEng or equivalent qualification in Electrical, Mechanical, Process or Chemical Engineering, or currently working towards a relevant engineering qualification. Alternatively, relevant practical or industry experience combined with a desire to develop a career within engineering proposals and estimating. An interest in engineering, technical problem-solving and developing commercially effective solutions. Some experience within an engineering, manufacturing, water, utilities or technical environment would be advantageous but is not essential. An ability to understand technical information, with a willingness to develop your knowledge of engineering drawings, P&IDs and specifications. Good numerical skills and attention to detail, with an interest in developing estimating and commercial knowledge. Good IT skills, including experience using Microsoft Office applications. Good time management, with the ability to plan and organise day-to-day workloads and meet agreed deadlines. Good interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to work with colleagues, suppliers and, as experience develops, clients. A proactive approach to learning and a willingness to ask questions and develop your technical knowledge. Full UK Driving Licence. WES - Who Are We?
