Intro: "Proposal Specialist / Marketing Specialist / AEC GAI Consultants -- Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, or West Virginia -- Hybrid Run the pursuits that win DOT, county and municipality work. GAI is hiring an experienced AEC proposal professional to lead transportation and infrastructure pursuits from kickoff through shortlist interview. Hybrid schedule, based out of our Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio or West Virginia offices. Every transportation project we deliver started as a proposal someone had to win. That's this role. You'll drive pursuits end to end strategy, schedule, narrative, compliance, and the deliverable that puts GAI in front of state DOTs, counties, and municipalities across the region. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with the engineers and business leaders chasing the work, turn technical depth into a persuasive story, and own the process that keeps a complex pursuit on track. This is for someone who has run proposals and wants more control over how they're won. You'll weigh in on go/no-go calls, push back on weak content, and build reusable material that makes the next pursuit faster than the last. GAI has been solving infrastructure challenges since 1958. Our Transportation & Infrastructure practice is growing and pursuit capacity is what growth runs on."
That's about the role.

We could combine Required and Preferred into Requirements section? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping.
Qualifications could be education: Associate or bachelor's degree etc. Skills could be tools: Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Deltek Vantagepoint.
But we must not invent sections if content is thin. We have enough for each.
Let's structure:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Requirements
...
(include required items)
Qualifications
...
(education, driver's license maybe? but driver's license is requirement; could go there. But we already used required. Maybe we put education in Qualifications, and driver's license in Requirements? Let's think.)
Better: Requirements: mandatory experience and skills. Qualifications: education and certifications. Skills: specific tools.
Let's allocate:
Requirements (mandatory):
- 5+ years in proposal coordination, proposal management, or AEC marketing
- Proven track record managing proposals to hard deadlines with multiple contributors
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel
Qualifications:
- Associate or bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or related field. Equivalent experience considered.
Skills:
- Adobe InDesign and Creative Suite
- Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
- Deltek Vantagepoint (or comparable CRM) – though it's preferred, but we can list as skill.
But we also have Preferred items: AEC industry experience, public-sector pursuits, experience coaching technical staff, proposal writing samples. Those could go under Requirements as preferred? But we could add another section "Preferred Qualifications". However we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put preferred items under Requirements or Qualifications as appropriate. Since they are preferred, we could still list them under Requirements but maybe note "Preferred". But we must not invent headings. So we can include them under Requirements (maybe as bullet points) but we need to preserve all info. We'll include them under Requirements as bullet points, maybe label them (Preferred) within the bullet? That's okay.
Alternatively we could put them under Qualifications. But Qualifications is for education/degrees. Better to put under Requirements.
Thus Requirements bullets will include both required and preferred items.
But we also have Skills section for tools.
Let's list Requirements bullets:
- 5+ years in proposal coordination, proposal management, or AEC marketing (required)
- Proven track record managing proposals to hard deadlines with multiple contributors (required)
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills (required)
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel (required)
- Associate or bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or related field (equivalent experience considered) (could be qualification but we put here)
- AEC industry experience; engineering, architecture, construction, or infrastructure consulting (preferred)
- Public-sector pursuits; DOT, county, or municipal clients (preferred)
- Deltek Vantagepoint or comparable CRM (preferred)
- Experience coaching technical staff through shortlist presentations (preferred)
- Proposal writing and layout samples strongly encouraged; include a portfolio link on your resume or attach PDF samples. (preferred)
But that mixes education with experience. Might be okay.
Qualifications maybe we can leave empty? But we must not create a section with no content. So we need to decide if we need Qualifications separate. Perhaps we can put education under Qualifications, and keep Requirements as experience/skills. Let's do that.
Thus:
Requirements (experience):
- 5+ years in proposal coordination, proposal management, or AEC marketing
- Proven track record managing proposals to hard deadlines with multiple contributors
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel
Qualifications (education):
- Associate or bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or related field. Equivalent experience considered.
Skills (tools/technologies):
- Adobe InDesign and Creative Suite
- Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
- Deltek Vantagepoint (or comparable CRM)
Preferred items could be added under Requirements as notes, but we already have required items. We could add a subsection "Preferred" but not allowed heading. Could incorporate them into Requirements bullets with "(preferred)" label. That would preserve info.
Let's do that: Requirements bullets include both required and preferred, marking preferred.
Thus:
Requirements:
- 5+ years in proposal coordination, proposal management, or AEC marketing (required)
- Proven track record managing proposals to hard deadlines with multiple contributors (required)
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills (required)
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel (required)
- Associate or bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or related field (equivalent experience considered) (required/qualification)
- AEC industry experience; engineering, architecture, construction, or infrastructure consulting (preferred)
- Public-sector pursuits; DOT, county, or municipal clients (preferred)
- Deltek Vantagepoint or comparable CRM (preferred)
- Experience coaching technical staff through shortlist presentations (preferred)
- Proposal writing and layout samples strongly encouraged; include a portfolio link on your resume or attach PDF samples. (preferred)
But then we have duplication of Deltek Vantagepoint also in Skills. Might be okay but could be redundant. Better to keep Skills separate for tools, and Requirements for experience/qualifications. Preferred items can be under Requirements as separate bullets with (preferred). We'll keep Skills for tools: Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Deltek Vantagepoint.
Thus Requirements bullets:
- 5+ years in proposal coordination, proposal management, or AEC marketing
- Proven track record managing proposals to hard deadlines with multiple contributors
- Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel
- Associate or bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or related field (equivalent experience considered)
- AEC industry experience; engineering, architecture, construction, or infrastructure consulting (preferred)
- Public-sector pursuits; DOT, county, or municipal clients (preferred)
- Experience coaching technical staff through shortlist presentations (preferred)
- Proposal writing and layout samples strongly encouraged; include a portfolio link on your resume or attach PDF samples. (preferred)
Skills:
- Adobe InDesign and Creative Suite
- Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
- Deltek Vantagepoint (or comparable CRM)
