- Conduct site visits to evaluate existing conditions when necessary
- Support project handoff and coordination with Project Managers and Superintendents after project award
- Participate in preconstruction meetings with clients, architects, and consultants
- Assist with conceptual budgeting and early-stage project cost analysis
- Identify value engineering opportunities and constructability considerations during bidding
- Evaluate project logistics, schedule constraints, and procurement risks
- Maintain historical cost data and contribute to internal estimating databases
- Consistently schedule and conduct meetings with prospective clients to build future opportunities
- Maintain proactive client communication and responsiveness, including strong phone engagement to support relationship development and new business opportunities
- 5+ years of estimating experience with a commercial general contractor preferred
- Experience with ground-up and tenant improvement projects valued at $2M – $10M+ at a minimum
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, Procore, and Bluebeam
- Strong knowledge of commercial construction assemblies, materials, and subcontractor scopes
- Strong organizational and time-management skills
- Ability to manage multiple bids simultaneously
- Clear and professional communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and ability to evaluate construction risk
- Self-motivated with strong follow-through and accountability
