Proposal Coordinator

Business Development Full Time Ontario Remote $75,000 - $105,000 CAD per year

Solvest was founded in the Yukon in 2015 and has become a leader in delivering renewable energy solutions across northern and remote regions. We specialize in designing and executing large-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects built for the North’s unique challenges. Our work is grounded in strong, long-term partnerships with First Nations, where we prioritize collaboration, training, and shared economic opportunities. By reducing fossil-fuel reliance, particularly in mining and off‑grid communities, we strive to support energy sovereignty, environmental stewardship, and a more resilient future. Our core values are Innovation, Trust, Empowerment, and Tenacity.

What we offer :

• A people-focused workplace; our employees are the center of our culture
• A chance to contribute to a greener and more inclusive future.
• Work / life balance – trialing a 4-day work week
• Focus on growth and development opportunities.

The Opportunity :

Reporting to the Chief Business Officer, the Proposal Coordinator will take ownership of Solvest’s end‑to‑end proposal development process, with a focus on a variety of renewable construction RFPs and direct to client proposals, across Canada and Alaska. This role is ideal for a highly organized, detail-oriented professional who excels at responding to complex, multi‑stakeholder proposal requests. They will be able to coordinate with subcontractors and turn tactical language into digestible information for clients in a sleek and professional manner. The ideal candidate is also eager to build scalable proposal processes from the ground up to further develop and streamline proposals for all potential projects moving forward.

In addition to proposal coordination, this position will lead the creation, upkeep, and continuous improvement of a Canada- and Alaska-wide funding mapping system. This includes researching, tracking, and organizing all available funding programs—First Nations, territorial, federal, and external—that support renewable energy and infrastructure development, their qualification criterion and eligibility periods. The coordinator will maintain a robust funding database, ensuring internal teams have visibility into funding opportunities for client projects.

This role is suited to someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, contributes actively to cross-department workflows, and enjoys building structure, clarity, and momentum within fast-moving project pipelines.

Business development of profound responsibility and system-building is part of this role. This position is offered in-office out of Whitehorse, YT or Cobourg, ON or remotely from anywhere in Canada, reporting to our Whitehorse head office.

You thrive on process creation, work flow optimization, structure-building, and cross-team collaboration that exhibits company value add, proven history and capabilities.
