Estimator - Commercial Construction

The Preconstruction Estimator is a self-starter who can efficiently determine, organize, and document all requirements and costs for multiple simultaneous construction projects, public and private. Beginning from initial consultations with Business Development and with key stakeholders, then scouring project documents to identify all requirements (bidding, labor, insurance, bonding, jurisdictional, financial, schedule, procurement, scope, etc), submitting RFIs, managing and disbursing responses and addenda, engaging subcontractors and vendors for accurate pricing on vetted scope, building a comprehensive estimate, performing as-needed quantity take-offs, documenting correspondence, to submitting a complete proposal on bid day.

What You Will Do

Determine all project activities/requirements and capture all associated costs. Strategize to get the best subcontractor and vendor engagement. Track, document, analyze, and level pricing for all work packages. Perform day-to-day activities in a network setting, visible to all team members. Handle constructability issues and be an influence in design details for the project to be competitive, buildable, and reduce future warranty issues.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Create new and maintain strong relationships with Clients, Architects, Engineers, Consultants, Subcontractors, and Vendors to ensure continuing work.
