  • Bid packaging & follow-ups : Issue timely, accurate proposals; follow up to close.
  • Market awareness : Track labor / material trends; flag pricing updates.
  • Quality & records : Keep estimating and CRM files tidy; maintain historical data.

  • On-time bid submissions (98%+)
  • Required Skills & experience

  • 3–5+ years of construction estimating (any trade / GC / sub—service-trade a plus).
  • Read plans / specs; strong math and takeoff skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Clear, direct communicator, comfortable speaking with GCs / supers.
  • Valid driver’s license, comfortable on active jobsites.
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (CM, engineering, business or similar).
