• Administrative reporting to the Engineering Manager
• Technical, Process and Procedural support from the Engineering Manager
• Functional Relations with various Aecon departments (e.g. Proposals, Sales and Business Development, Construction, Quality, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Human Resources, Legal, etc.).

What You'll Do Here:

Proposal Stage

• May support proposal development for engineering services and engineered equipment if required by the Proposal Manager (depending on scope and complexity of Engineering or engineered equipment)
• May prepare specifications to prospective DSP’s to establish scope, functional design, codes and standards, schedule and deliverables through preparation of a Aecon Technical Specification (ATS) or similar RFQ document based on Contract / Customer specifications as directed by the Proposal Manager.
• Evaluate DSP bids as required and provide estimated execution cost and engineering manhours to the Proposal Manager for entry into the estimate.
• For those proposals that involve engineered equipment, may coordinate conceptual engineering with the DSP as required and prepare RFQ’s to engineered equipment suppliers via Procurement as required by the Proposal Manager.
• May help evaluate engineered equipment bids with the DSP as required with Proposal Management and Procurement.
• Prepare engineering manhour estimates for internal Aecon engineering as required by the Proposal Manager.
• Provide input to the proposal level risk assessment from an engineering perspective
• Assist in proposal preparation as required by the Proposal Manager
• Attends Proposal Turnover Meetings as required
• May review Constructability elements with support from Construction in support of the proposal

Project Execution - Design Stage

• Review Customer specifications and design documents
• Reconcile as-sold engineering scope at Aecon internal contract kick-off and finalize DSP requirements to support the contract
