Ausenco is a fast-growing company with big ideas. We redefine what’s possible in some of the world’s most complex projects and toughest environments. Delivering innovative, value-add consulting, project delivery, asset operations and maintenance solutions is what we do. From 21 offices in 10 countries, with projects in over 80 locations worldwide, we create sustainable outcomes for our people, clients, and communities.

Based in our Perth CBD office, this exciting role will join an energised global proposals team, collaborating with colleagues across continents to support our growing Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As Proposals Specialist MENA, you’ll play a key role in supporting regional leaders, particularly our lead office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; by turning complex engineering strategies into clear, compliant and compelling submissions that showcase Ausenco’s commitment to ingenious solutions and outstanding results for our clients. 

This role is aligned to the MENA region, so you can expect regular collaboration and engagement across time zones, including frequent mid-afternoon meetings (WA time) to accommodate MENA working hours and early morning meetings to liaise with North America as required.

You will benefit from strong mentorship and guidance from the APAC Proposals Leader, supporting your growth and development in a global environment.

• Proofread and edit technical and non‑technical content to ensure clarity, accuracy, consistency and impact.
• Prepare written and graphical elements for proposals, qualifications and presentations.
• Gather company information, conduct internal and external research and provide market insights to strengthen submissions.
• Contribute to proposal debriefs, capturing lessons learned to improve future performance.
• Build and maintain sales collateral including project descriptions, capability statements and testimonials.
• Manage knowledge databases to support both local and global team performance.
