Proposal Engineer

Location: Venlo, Netherlands
Salary: €55,000 - €60,000

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.
  • Prepare cost calculations, technical specifications, and supporting documentation for complex engineering projects.
  • 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.
