  • Leading the organization of tendering activities, including technical feasibility studies and commercial proposal optimization.

  • Building and managing tender schedules while proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks or deviations.

  • Collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure all tender approvals and process gates are managed in a timely and compliant manner.

  • Developing deep technical knowledge of products and market trends to anticipate customer needs and offer competitive recommendations.

  • Improving tendering processes to enhance bid quality, reduce slippage, and increase overall customer satisfaction.

  • An expertise in electrical power system engineering, particularly regarding HVDC or power transformer equipment.

  • A keen interest in utilizing advanced data tools and software to produce precise, high-quality documentation.

A formal education and subsequent University Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering are nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.
