Proposal Administrator

Do you have a sharp eye for detail, a knack for keeping documents organized under pressure, and an interest in how large-scale construction projects are won? As a Proposal Administrator at Ledcor, you will play a hands-on role in bringing our prequalification, proposal, and tender submissions to life — generating resumes and project profiles, maintaining proposal resources, handling document control, and supporting the visual presentation of our submissions. You will work alongside Proposal Coordinators and the Marketing and Technology team to support effective delivery of winning proposals.

Reporting to the Team Manager, you will bring at least 2 years of relevant work experience and strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, with a particular focus on Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook. You thrive in a deadline-driven environment, stay organized when managing multiple tasks at once, and communicate clearly with the wide range of internal teams and stakeholders that the Proposal Team touches across the business.

Come and join the True Blue team and build your career with one of Canada's most established construction companies.

• Obtain project photos, submit for health, safety, and environment approval, upload to relevant libraries, and collaborate with the Marketing and Technology team on image editing and compliance

• Support improvements to proposal development processes as required
• Support Proposal Coordinators with responsibility matrices, presentation materials, and meeting minutes; shadow submissions from start to finish to deepen understanding of the full proposal process
