Ames Construction has built America for more than 60 years, and the exceptional people who make up our team are a vital factor in our success. We are a full-service, heavy civil and industrial general contractor that brings innovative solutions to many market segments, from highway and bridge construction to mining and rail. Ames is an employee-owned company that retains its entrepreneurial spirit while offering the experience and stability of a proven construction industry leader. Equipped with our core values of People, Team, Our Bond, Persistence, and Vision, we make communities across the U.S. safer, keep supply chains moving, and lay the groundwork for a sustainable future. By joining Ames, you will be working with talented colleagues at an award-winning, nationally recognized top 65 general contractor.

The Proposal Writer will be responsible for developing and managing high-quality, compliant, and compelling proposals in response to RFQs, RFPs, and SOQs for heavy civil construction projects. This role requires excellent communication and writing skills, a firm understanding of civil construction processes, and the ability to work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and interpret RFP / RFQ documents to develop compliant, client-focused responses.
  • Write, edit, and organize proposal content including executive summaries, approach narratives, project descriptions, resumes, safety records, and organizational charts.
  • Coordinate with estimating, operations, engineering, and business development teams to gather technical content and ensure proposal accuracy.
  • Manage multiple deadlines, proposal schedules, and submission requirements.
  • Maintain and update a library of boilerplate content, resumes, and project write-ups.
  • Assist in developing presentations and marketing collateral as needed.
  • Ensure all submissions align with client requirements and company branding.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Communications, English, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
  • 2–5 years of experience writing proposals in the heavy civil, construction, or AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry.
  • Strong writing, editing, and organizational skills with a keen attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with public agency procurement processes (e.g., DOTs, municipalities, transit authorities).
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator) is a plus.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience preparing proposals for design-bid-build, design-build, progressive design-build, and CM / GC projects.
  • Understanding of construction documents including schedules, cost estimates, and work plans.
  • Ability to manage input from multiple stakeholders under tight deadlines.
  • Ames Construction is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
