Job description

Join to apply for the Proposal Administrative Assistant role at Dillon Consulting Limited .

Are you someone with strong leadership and administrative skills? Do you enjoy building relationships and working collaboratively in a team environment with both internal and external stakeholders? Are you a trusted partner and a problem solver? If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment, we want you on our team.

Your Opportunity

Dillon is seeking a detail‑oriented Proposal Administrative Assistant to join our Business Development and Sales (BDAS) group. This role focuses exclusively on proposal document production and formatting support, working closely with Proposal Specialists and Proposal Coordinators to ensure our submissions are polished, consistent, and aligned with Dillon’s branding standards. Unlike a traditional administrative assistant, this role does not include general office administration or facilities support. You can be based at any one of our 26 offices across Canada and enjoy flexible work hours and a hybrid arrangement that balances work and personal life.

Responsibilities

Proposal Production & Formatting Support

  • Format a range of small and large proposal documents using Microsoft Word, maintaining style, template, heading, table, page numbering, and layout refinement in line with Dillon brand guidelines.
  • Create and update PowerPoint files to meet formatting and brand standards.
  • Format supporting materials in Excel, such as tables, project lists, charts, and schedules.
  • Compile, merge, compress, and finalize PDF submission packages, ensuring hyperlinks, bookmarks, and structure are correct.
  • Apply Dillon templates and branding consistently across all deliverables.
  • Provide formatting support for proposal text provided by Proposal Specialists and Proposal Coordinators, ensuring clarity, consistency, and accuracy.
  • Conduct quality checks for spelling, grammar, formatting, layout consistency, and compliance with submission requirements.

Proposal Coordination Support

  • Assist Proposal Specialists and Proposal Coordinators with assembling complete and compliant proposal submissions.
  • Maintain organized proposal folders and file structures to support efficient proposal development.
  • Support file naming, version control, and document management best practices.
  • Prepare and format resumes, project profiles, forms, appendices, and other supporting materials.
  • Manage quick‑turnaround formatting tasks in a fast‑paced environment.
  • BDAS Administrative Support

  • Assist with organizing and updating proposal content libraries and BDAS shared resources.
  • Support light data entry or tracking tasks related to submissions or pursuit logs.
  • Complete other proposal‑related production tasks as assigned.
  • Learning & Development

  • Participate in training on Dillon’s proposal management software and internal BDAS processes.
  • Engage in BDAS team learning activities to enhance formatting, document production, and proposal support skills.
  • Qualifications

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word, with strong knowledge of document styles, formatting, and template use.
  • Proficiency with PowerPoint and Excel; experience with Visio will be considered an asset.
  • Strong attention to detail and a high regard for accuracy and quality.
  • Strong written communication and proofreading skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple formatting tasks, prioritize effectively, and meet tight deadlines.
  • Ability to work independently or collaboratively within a national team environment.
  • Experience using PDF editing software to compile large and complex files is an asset.
  • Experience

  • Experience in administrative, customer service, or document‑focused roles is an asset; candidates who demonstrate strong organization and communication skills will be considered even without direct proposal experience.
  • Experience supporting proposals or tender submissions is considered an asset.
