About the Role

key partner to leadership in supporting preconstruction and bidding efforts. This individual will play a

critical role in reviewing plans, performing quantity takeoffs, developing estimates, and helping position

projects for successful execution.

The ideal candidate is first and foremost an estimator. BWE is seeking someone who can confidently

review plan sets, perform quantity takeoffs, develop accurate estimates, excel in time management, and

work closely with leadership to evaluate project opportunities. While exposure to project management or

general construction is beneficial, the primary focus of this role is estimating and preconstruction

support.

needed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review project plans, specifications, and bid documents

• Perform quantity takeoffs and develop detailed cost estimates

• Support preconstruction planning and project handoff activities

• Coordinate with operations and field teams to ensure estimating accuracy

• Maintain and organize estimating data, historical costs, and project information

• Assist with project tracking, job costing, and operational support as needed

• Participate in occasional site visits to gather information and support estimating efforts

• Contribute to process improvements and operational efficiencies as the company continues to

grow

Qualifications & Requirements:

• 3+ years of construction estimating experience, including: reviewing plans, performing quantity

takeoffs, and developing project estimates

• Experience in utility, civil, underground, pipeline, infrastructure, or general construction preferred

• Experience reviewing plans and performing quantity takeoffs

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with estimating or construction software is encouraged

(e.g., HCSS)

• Exposure to project management, field operations, or construction supervision preferred

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, time management, and organizational skills

• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Professional, self-motivated, and comfortable wearing multiple hats

• Willingness to work primarily out of the Morgantown, WV area (with limited regional travel)

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?

• Naturally curious and enjoys solving complex problems

• Team-first mentality and willingness to jump in wherever necessary

• Desire to continue learning and growing professionally

• Ability to stay engaged, responsive, and connected to project needs

• Comfortable working alongside experienced construction professionals in a collaborative,

straightforward environment
