In this role, you will serve as a critical technical and commercial interface between customers, estimating team, engineers, and production staff. This role is responsible for reviewing nuclear-grade RFQs, developing internal costing strategies, supporting manufacturing planning, and writing technically strong proposal documentation. This position reports directly to the Vice President of Sales and plays a key role in the company’s nuclear-sector growth strategy.
Key Responsibilities

- Prepare comprehensive technical proposals, narrative responses, and bid package documentation.
- Identify risks, gaps, and uncertainties within customer specifications and recommend mitigation strategies.
- Support bid review, pricing strategy, and customer clarification efforts throughout the quotation cycle.
- Work directly with engineering, machining, welding, quality, and manufacturing planning teams to develop internal manufacturing strategies.
- Translate customer requirements into internal process steps, technical instructions, and production planning inputs.
- Participate in manufacturability reviews, engineering change reviews, and strategic project planning sessions.
- Support evaluation of reverse-engineering opportunities, commercial-grade dedication needs, and equipment qualification pathways.
- Review and assess large nuclear project packages including ASME code components, structural modules, precision-machined assemblies, and DOE/DOD hardware.
- Maintain detailed understanding of nuclear compliance standards such as NQA-1, ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 21, and related requirements.
- Contribute to early-stage pursuit strategies including risk analysis, technical solutioning, and cost-drivers identification.
- Provide technical support in customer meetings with utilities, EPCs, national labs, and government contractors.
- Present company’s capabilities in machining, fabrication, engineering, and nuclear-grade quality programs.
- Build long-term customer relationships within the nuclear, DOE/DOD, and clean-energy manufacturing ecosystem.
- Provide feedback to improve the quotation process, lessons learned, and customer experience.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of relevant experience in manufacturing, sales engineering, quoting, or technical project management.
- Strong preference for experience in nuclear manufacturing or nuclear supply chain environments.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering preferred (other engineering disciplines or equivalent experience considered).
- Strong technical writing ability and experience drafting proposals, narratives, and technical correspondence.
- Ability to read and interpret complex drawings, specifications, and nuclear QA documentation.
- Knowledge of nuclear compliance frameworks (NQA-1, Appendix B, ASME, AWS).
- Exceptional communication, organization, and analytical skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively across departments and manage multiple concurrent quotations.
- Occasional travel required for customer visits, project development, and industry events.
Why Join?
- Support a growing advanced-manufacturing leader serving nuclear, defense, aerospace, and energy markets.
- Work daily with engineering, machining, and welding professionals in a collaborative, high-skill environment.
- Be part of a company investing heavily in expansion, equipment, workforce development, and nuclear-sector growth.
