Marketing Coordinator (3-5 years)

Company Description

At Coffman Engineers, we serve as both prime consultant and sub consultant on projects large and small, including commercial, retail, institutional, government, industrial, and project/construction management. Incorporated in 1979, we have employees in more than 20 locations serving clients across the United States and overseas.

To meet client objectives and to integrate our many disciplines, we can create teams comprised of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and corrosion control, as well as project/construction managers and professionals in a variety of specialty services. This ability has made us a leader in the engineering and construction communities, and has strengthened our reputation as being progressive, innovative, and a great place to work.

Job Description

In this role you will:

• Assume the title of master juggler. You will be a detail oriented, schedule driven, multiple hat-wearing, punctuation enforcing marketing professional. You will have an eye for graphic design, a brain for strategic thinking, a passion for collaboration, and a hunger for learning new concepts. 
• Have the ability to review and understand Requests for Proposals (RFP’s), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ’s) and organize and develop written responses.
• Write qualifications-based proposals describing technically complex concepts in a way that non-technical readers can understand. Each proposal is custom written, working from various InDesign templates. The response could be a single page or 50 pages. It could be a response in SF330 format or an architect’s request for qualifications. Every situation is unique.
• Work hand in hand with the companywide marketing team, engineers, various departments, and subconsultants to find and track potential project leads, assess prospective clients’ needs, and evaluate the competitive environment.
• Maintain up to date data in various locations including Coffman’s CRM, marketing database, backlog database, and more.
• Support a variety of local and corporate marketing and BD initiatives. Your marketing responsibilities will grow as you grow at Coffman. You may support tasks ranging from press release writing to trade show coordination and more.
• Join and engage with appropriate architecture/engineering/construction (A/E/C) industry organizations, including Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS).

We will give you the training, resources, and mentorship you need to succeed in your role, but a basic understanding of A/E/C marketing and proposal processes is recommended and will accelerate your learning curve and allow you to tackle the necessary tasks more quickly.

Qualifications

You will have:

• Bachelor’s degree (Graphic Design, Communications, or Marketing preferred)
• 3-5 years of experience, preferably in the AEC industry.
• Job experience and/or an educational background with an emphasis in marketing, writing, or communications.
• Proficiency using MS Office 365 programs (Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint). Most of our market materials are assembled in Adobe InDesign, so a working knowledge of this software is desirable.
• Excellent communication skills. Clear written and interpersonal communication and strong listening skills are a must.
• The ability to take direction and work independently while prioritizing tasks associated with simultaneous deadlines.

To apply, please provide:

• A single-page cover letter that briefly details your experience and describes what drives you personally.
