Your role

Are you curious about how customer needs can be turned into technically sound, commercially competitive, and executable solutions?

As a Proposal Engineer within Engineered Solutions APX, you turn non-standard customer requirements into clear, competitive, and executable compressor package proposals.

You take ownership of assigned opportunities from RFQ analysis through quotation submission and handover, defining scope, pricing, risks, lead times, and commitments in close collaboration with Customer Centers and internal stakeholders.

Working together with Technology, Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance, and Quality, you develop proposals that balance customer expectations, technical feasibility, and business objectives. We value diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, because different ways of thinking help us develop better solutions.

You also collaborate with our Global Engineering Center (GECIA) and other Engineered Solutions entities worldwide while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.

You will report to the Team Leader Proposal Engineered Solutions APX.
