Job Description

Description

McGuire and Hester is a construction company that provides complete site work services: pipelines, grading paving, concrete, landscape and mechanical. In addition to traditional project delivery methods, we are involved with design build projects and alternative delivery methods. McGuire and Hester have played an integral role in the construction of many of Northern California's most recognizable landmarks and infrastructure projects. Our storied past crosses more than nine decades. Our mission statement is, “Together We Build Things Right” which encompasses our business philosophy as well as our values and culture. We have a team environment that focuses on the greater good, resulting in a fantastic place to work that positively impacts our business partners and community.

Job Summary

The Pursuit Coordinator plays a critical role in supporting McGuire and Hester's efforts to secure new construction work, with a primary focus on proposal development, submission coordination, and cross-departmental collaboration. This position works closely with the Preconstruction, Estimating, Business Development, and Marketing teams to prepare high-quality, compliant responses to RFPs, RFQs, and SOQs.

This is a deadline-driven, detail-oriented role that requires strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously. Experience or familiarity with construction industry terminology and delivery methods (such as Design-Build, CMAR, and LLB) is a strong plus.

While this role sits within the Marketing team, its focus is not general brand promotion—it is about producing well-organized, visually polished, and strategically aligned materials that support client engagement and pursuit efforts. The Pursuit Coordinator also contributes to maintaining branded templates and may occasionally represent the company at industry events or interviews to help reinforce McGuire and Hester's professional presence.
