Commercial Development Specialist
Location: Dallas, Houston, Akron, or Remote | Department: DEPADM
About the role
The Commercial Development Specialist plays a critical role in developing the client-facing proposals behind some of our largest and most complex pursuits. We’re looking for an experienced proposal professional who is exceptionally detail-oriented, strong with both numbers and language, and comfortable working with technical information in a fast-moving environment. This person will bring together pricing, estimates, engineering inputs, project schedules, scope details, and technical documentation to create clear, accurate, and compelling commercial proposals. Because these pursuits can represent significant project value, precision matters. The right person will be comfortable digging into complex Excel-based analyses, catching inconsistencies, asking the right questions, and taking ownership of the details while partnering across Sales, Estimating, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and other subject-matter experts. Data center experience is helpful, but what matters most is experience supporting complex proposals or large capital projects and the ability to produce high-quality work where the details truly matter.
