This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for marketing, writing, and relationship building to join our team. The right candidate will work with our Orange County GM and Regional Marketing Manager to support marketing and proposal efforts while supporting the office’s business development strategy. 
The primary work in this role includes supporting the development of prime and subconsultant proposal materials, other marketing materials, and various communications pieces.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Assume the title of master juggler. You will be a detail focused, schedule driven, multiple hat-wearing, punctuation enforcing marketing professional. You will have an eye for graphic design, a brain for strategic thinking, a passion for collaboration, and a hunger for learning new concepts. Your marketing responsibilities will grow as you grow at Coffman.
Support the writing and production of qualifications-based proposals describing technically complex concepts in a way that non-technical readers can understand. Each proposal is custom written, working from various InDesign templates. The response could be a single page or 50 pages. It could be a response in SF330 format or an architect’s request for qualifications. Every situation is unique.
Work hand in hand with the local and companywide marketing team, engineers, various departments, and subconsultants to find and track potential project leads, assess prospective clients’ needs, and evaluate the competitive environment.
