Prepare and present proposals for Caltrans bid solicitations, incorporating technical specifications, compliance with stormwater permits, and value engineering for CIPP and trenchless rehabilitation methods.

•

Collaborate with operations and engineering teams to support project delivery, ensuring adherence to Caltrans standards and environmental requirements.

Gather and analyze market intelligence on upcoming Caltrans drainage projects, funding opportunities (e.g., SHOPP), and competitive landscape.

•

Proven track record of success selling to public agencies, with knowledge of Caltrans procurement, NPDES stormwater permit compliance, and California drainage system standards.

•

Strong interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels within Caltrans and partner agencies.
