- Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier proposals and ensure scope coverage.
- Evaluate project phasing, staging, logistics, constructability, and sequencing.
- Develop preliminary schedules to support estimating efforts.
- Identify project risks, opportunities, value-engineering ideas, and cost-saving strategies.
- Participate in bid reviews with operations and project management.
- Prepare detailed project budgets and lead estimating-to-project-team handoffs.
- Support subcontractor and supplier buyout following award.
- Partner with operations and project teams to help set projects up for successful execution.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred.
- Experience estimating water and/or wastewater construction projects.
- Experience with self-performed structural concrete and/or heavy civil construction.
- Strong understanding of construction means, methods, sequencing, and productivity.
- Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and contract documents.
- Strong quantity takeoff, cost analysis, and scope review skills.
- Experience with HCSS, Primavera P6, Bluebeam, and On-Screen Takeoff preferred.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
