Job Description/Mission

In order to further improve customer satisfaction and to guarantee the high level of quality in terms of project handling and technical support, we are currently looking for a proposal engineer to expand the Engineered Solutions Wilrijk team.

As a proposal engineer, you are responsible for on time creation of quotations for non-standard AIF products. On the request of Customer Centers from the region assigned to you or within the application assigned to you and in accordance with the applicable QA procedures you’ll offer a correctly described and clearly defined content, which can be delivered within a realistic period and at the predetermined profit margins.

This means, among other things, that you independently assess the feasibility of a project in all its facets and translate specific customer needs into our product portfolio.

You’ll make a cost/benefit analysis, based on the material and engineering cost of the requested on the one hand, and the price levels and delivery times applicable on the market on the other hand.

There is a clear distinction between the ’cost’ and ’value’ of an option. You will gain your knowledge through daily contacts within the Engineered Solutions Wilrijk department(s) and through interaction with other departments within the Oil-free Air division and with other proposal teams within Engineered Solutions OFA.

Externally, you maintain contacts with suppliers, as well as Customer Centers, Application Groups and other Engineered Solutions entities, inspectors and (end) customers.

After transferring a project to the contract office according to the applicable steps of the internal Order Management Process, you will continue to support where necessary and process technical and financial feedback in further quotations.

You maintain a database of all your assignments and follow up on their status.

In addition to your operational proposal work, you will receive additional assignments to support the Customer Centers (e.g. developing total concepts and creating price lists) and you will be a competence carrier for one or more product ranges. You will also actively participate in improvement projects that benefit the general operation of the department, as well as projects specifically related to the Oil &Gas business.

You report to the Teamleader PTR Proposal.
