Senior Electrical Engineer (Technical Proposal Specialist)

We are looking for a Technical Proposal Engineer with a solid background in power systems engineering to lead and support the development of proposals for utility, government, and large infrastructure RFPs. This role requires bridging technical expertise with proposal strategy, transforming complex engineering concepts into clear, compliant, and persuasive proposals. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of power system studies but will focus on interpreting scopes, writing methodologies, and preparing compliance documentation rather than performing daily design tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Proposal & RFP Development: Lead the technical writing of proposals related to power system consulting, utility studies, and electrical engineering projects. Interpret RFP/RFQ technical requirements, grid codes, and standards, ensuring all responses are compliant. Develop technical methodologies, work plans, deliverables, schedules, and execution strategies tailored to each proposal. Prepare scope of work documents, assumptions, exclusions, and technical clarifications aligned with client expectations. Support the creation of compliance matrices, technical scoring responses, and risk mitigation sections.

Technical Content & Expertise: Draft proposal sections covering power system studies such as load flow, short circuit, and protection coordination. Include arc flash and electrical safety studies, grounding and earthing system analysis, as well as power quality, harmonics, and DER integration. Ensure all technical content complies with IEEE, IEC, NFPA, ANSI, and BS standards. Review and customize case studies, project descriptions, and resumes to align with RFP requirements.

Coordination & Review: Collaborate closely with engineering leads, project managers, and senior management to validate technical approaches. Coordinate inputs from multiple disciplines to create a unified and cohesive proposal voice. Review proposals for technical accuracy, clarity, consistency, and compliance before submission. Provide support for post-submission clarifications, technical presentations, and bidder Q&A sessions.

Required Qualifications

A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is required, with a Master’s degree preferred. Candidates should have 3 to 5 years of experience in power systems engineering, including direct involvement in proposal or tender support. A strong understanding of power system studies, electrical safety, and utility requirements is essential. Proven experience in supporting or leading technical proposals for utilities, government agencies, or large industrial clients is highly valued.

Technical Knowledge

Expertise in power system studies such as load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, and arc flash is necessary. Familiarity with grounding and earthing systems (IEEE 80), power quality and harmonics (IEEE 519), as well as DER integration and grid impact studies is important. Experience with software tools like ETAP, PSSE, and DigSILENT is beneficial for methodology writing and proposal credibility.

Key Skills

Strong technical writing and structuring abilities are crucial. The candidate must be able to explain complex engineering concepts clearly and in a proposal-friendly manner. High attention to detail and strict adherence to compliance requirements are required. The role demands the ability to work efficiently under tight proposal deadlines. Experience with utility and international RFPs will be a significant advantage.

Additional Information

This is an on-site position with working hours from 3 PM to 11 PM Pakistan time. Candidates should be comfortable with this schedule. Applicants will be asked about their notice period, experience in power systems engineering with proposal involvement, and their comfort with the specified working hours.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred.

Work Location

This role requires in-person attendance at the designated office location.
