About the Opportunity
Join an employee‑owned consulting engineering firm in downtown St. Louis where your writing helps win work that shapes the region.

- Create clean, on‑brand layouts in InDesign and impactful PowerPoint interview decks.
- Partner with technical SMEs to gather content on time; drive version control and final QA/QC.
- Perform light website/news updates (personnel changes, wins, announcements).
What You Bring
- Strong technical writing skills and detail orientation; 1–4+ years in engineering/construction (AEC) proposals or highly relevant RFP‑driven environments.
- Hands‑on experience responding to RFPs/RFQs/SOQs with on‑time, compliant submittals.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word/PowerPoint) and Adobe InDesign (styles, templates, export).
- Organized under deadlines; calm communicator who can wrangle SME input.
- Ability to provide 1–2 writing samples (project blurb + approach/cover letter; redact PII).
Bonus Points
- Prior experience in engineering/construction (AEC) and public‑sector proposals.
- Basic Photoshop/Illustrator for imagery; CMS experience for light site updates.
- SMPS or similar professional involvement.
Why You’ll Love It
- Real impact: your proposals directly influence wins and the firm’s growth.
- Employee‑owned culture with collaborative, expert teams.
- Visible work across municipal/civil and specialty structures.
