Are you passionate about sustainability and ready to play a key role in helping industries reduce their carbon footprint? This is an opportunity to join a global engineering team developing innovative biogas and CO₂ recovery solutions that are transforming how the world approaches renewable energy and resource efficiency.
As a Proposal Engineer, you'll be a key link between sales, engineering, and project delivery - shaping proposals that turn complex technical requirements into commercially compelling solutions.
What You'll Be Doing
- Translate customer requirements and RFQs into accurate and competitive technical proposals.
- Work closely with sales, project management, and engineering teams to ensure every bid is technically sound and commercially viable.

- Review bid documents, identify risks and opportunities, and ensure all proposals align with business strategy.
- Coordinate with suppliers to obtain quotations and technical input for equipment and services.
- Support project handover by preparing detailed documentation for smooth transition into execution.
- Take part in internal and customer meetings (virtually or onsite) to clarify proposals and strengthen relationships.
What We're Looking For
- A bachelor's degree in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering (additional qualifications in Tendering, Estimation or Project Management are a plus).
- Around 3+ years of relevant experience in proposal engineering, tendering, or process design for complex industrial projects.
- Experience working with process flow diagrams, mechanical design, and equipment specifications.
- Strong ability to balance technical precision with commercial awareness.
- Excellent communication skills in English (both written and spoken).
- Ideally some experience in biogas, industrial gases, petrochemical, or carbon capture sectors.
You'll Thrive Here If You
- Enjoy combining engineering knowledge with business insight to create real-world solutions.
- Are detail-oriented but can keep sight of the bigger commercial picture.
- Collaborate naturally across teams and cultures.
- Take ownership of your work and proactively move projects forward.
- Want to be part of a company that's directly contributing to a more sustainable future.
Why This Role?
- Join a truly international team with operations across more than 150 countries.
- Work on projects that have a real impact on reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency.
- Develop your technical and commercial skills in a supportive, growth-focused environment.
- Be part of a company that invests in innovation and continuous improvement.
