Do you have a competitive side and are looking to work in a creative and detail-oriented environment? Garver’s in-house Marketing Team is looking for a Proposal Coordinator to support aviation project pursuits. This role calls for an eye for design and the use of critical thinking skills to compile and edit a variety of marketing deliverables.
This position will develop and coordinate proposals for multiple aviation business opportunities, provide creative layouts, and organize large amounts of information for the pursuit team. The ideal candidate will possess a strong sense of team camaraderie, the ability to work independently on assignments, the ability to multi-task, and know how to prioritize duties to meet deadlines.
Core responsibilities in this role will be to:
- Manage the proposal process from RFP release to client delivery. This includes communicating proposal needs and expectations to team, setting and maintaining internal draft deadlines, designing, writing, editing, and proofreading proposals, government forms, qualification packages, and presentations and quality control document checks to meet all client requirements.
- Coordinate and organize large amounts of technical information, including photography, external subconsultant data, and marketing materials including brochures, posters, etc.
- Develop, conceptualize, and collaboratively work with the graphics team to create visually appealing marketing materials.
- Work as a collaborative member of the Aviation Marketing Team to maintain the central information database of custom-created content for use on future pursuits.
- Learn the aviation engineering industry from the ground up in order to communicate effectively with Garver’s project leaders.

- Tell us about your previous experience and how it is applicable to this proposal coordinator position?
- What is the most unique skill that you will bring to the proposal coordinator position?
What is unique about this position
- A/E/C marketing experience is not required. We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working candidate to fill this position.

- We operate as a team, leaning on the strengths of each other to develop strong proposals, presentations, and marketing deliverables for our in-house technical teams.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree (Communications, Public Relations, Business, Journalism, English, Marketing, or a related field)
- Demonstrated writing and editing skills
