Engineering SOQ Design Specialist
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
Our engineering-construction team produces detailed Statements of Qualifications and project sheets for infrastructure bids across Canada and the U.S. I need a seasoned graphic designer who can take raw technical content and turn it into classic, professional, submission-ready documents.
The first priority is to develop a cohesive visual identity—fonts, colour palette, layout grids, and graphic elements—because we currently have no branded templates. Once that foundation is in place, each new RFP package will move quickly through drafting, review, and final production, so your file-handling and version-control habits must be solid.
Emphasis throughout every document sits squarely on clear, concise project summaries; photos, charts, and maps only support the narrative. Expect to work closely with our proposal manager for content flow, word counts, and compliance items, and with project managers who will supply technical data and imagery.
Typical toolset includes Adobe InDesign for master files, Illustrator or Photoshop for illustrations, and MS Word or PowerPoint for source text. If you prefer equivalent software, let me know—final deliverables simply need to be press-quality PDFs plus fully editable source files.
Deliverables for the initial engagement
• Complete template suite: SOQ, one-page project sheet, multi-page project profile
• Brand style guide (fonts, colours, logo placement, grid specs)
• First live SOQ assembled from provided content, ready for electronic and print submission
Acceptance criteria
• Layout meets current Canadian infrastructure procurement standards (print and digital)
• All body copy styles, headers, tables, and call-outs are paragraph- and character-style driven
• File package passes a pre-press check (CMYK, 300 dpi, linked images embedded or packaged)
Work is fully remote; familiarity with Canadian agency requirements is a strong plus. If this sounds like the kind of long-form, detail-oriented design work you enjoy, drop me a note with relevant samples and a brief outline of your approach to template creation and revision workflow.
