Develop cost estimates by analyzing drawings, specs, and performing takeoffs
-
Support design-build projects with conceptual estimates using limited information
-
Lead subcontractor outreach, RFP management, bid leveling, and scope definition
-
Coordinate technical input from internal teams and subject matter experts
-
Create and review comprehensive proposals, including bid documents, narratives, and pricing strategies
-
Evaluate risk, identify gaps, and recommend creative solutions
-
Present estimates and recommendations to upper management
-
Estimate new and retrofit construction efforts and LEED product compliance
-
Maintain client and partner relationships while actively identifying new opportunities
-
Participate in continuous improvement and company growth initiatives
What You Bring:
-
Bachelor’s degree preferred (or equivalent work experience)
-
4+ years of estimating or related construction experience
-
Strong math, data analysis, and strategic planning skills
-
Proficiency with spreadsheets, PDF editing software, and database tools
-
Ability to read and interpret complex construction documents
-
Exceptional communication and presentation abilities
-
Familiarity with sustainable/LEED specifications a plus
-
ICEAA, ASPE, or PMI certifications preferred
Bonus If You Have:
-
Field experience or a background in hands-on construction
-
Experience developing bids between multiple trades or project types
-
Creative thinking and a proactive approach to estimating and preconstruction
Physical Requirements:
-
Ability to sit at a computer for extended periods
-
Comfort navigating construction sites as needed
