Job Description

Let’s talk about you

Do you:

• Have deep construction and piping experience?
• Thrive owning heavy, full-cycle bids from kickoff through turnover?
• Stay engaged post-award with buyouts and scope clarifications?
• Know national piping codes and how they shape your scopes?
• Estimate in commercial, healthcare, K–12, or industrial settings—or build conceptual budgets from schematic design?
• Partner smoothly with vendors and subcontractors?
• Work confidently in Quotesoft, Accubid, or similar estimating software?
• Communicate clearly, build positive team culture, and are willing to relocate?

What you will take ownership of

• End-to-end bid management, including quantification, pricing strategy, and proposal development.
• Scope-letter writing that crisply defines inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications.
• Coordinating quotes and coverage with qualified vendors and subcontractors.
• Project handoffs and kickoffs that set construction up for success.
• Buyouts and post-award support to align scope and cost.
• Post-mortems that capture lessons learned and improve the next pursuit.

What sets you up for success

• Construction and piping background with substantial bidding experience.
• Knowledge of national piping codes applied within estimates and scopes.
• Sector versatility: commercial, healthcare, K–12, or industrial; plus ability to produce conceptual estimates (budgets, schematic design).
• Vendor/subcontractor relationships that yield timely, competitive pricing.
• Proficiency in Quotesoft, Accubid, or comparable estimating tools.
• Strong communication habits that promote a fair, positive team environment.
• Willingness to relocate as needed.
