Stakeholder Collaboration

  • Act as a trusted partner to clients, design teams, and internal departments to ensure alignment from day one.
  • Lead early planning sessions that bring scope, budget, and feasibility into perfect sync.
  • Serve as the liaison between Preconstruction, Operations, and the rest of the project team.

    • Market Research & Constructability

  • Keep a pulse on labor markets, material trends, and construction methods.
  • Analyze historical data, forecasts, and benchmarks to increase estimating accuracy and reduce surprises.
  • Align material selections with budget goals and flag constructability concerns early in design.

    • Process Improvement

  • Champion continuous improvement by refining tools, processes, and estimating techniques.
  • Collaborate across departments to build smarter systems that drive speed and precision.
  • Help develop and enhance SOPs that make us more efficient, consistent, and client-focused.

    • Cost Estimation

  • Build detailed, accurate cost models for a diverse range of project types and scopes.
  • Factor in soft costs, logistics, and realistic contingencies to create airtight budgets.
  • Track and improve long-term accuracy of estimates from budget to contract to completion.

    • What You Bring :

  • 5+ years of construction estimating or preconstruction experience
  • Strong proficiency in Procore, Excel, and estimating software
  • A keen eye for reading plans, specs, and scopes
  • Exceptional communication skills and a passion for collaboration
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or relevant experience preferred

    • Why Buffalo?

    At Buffalo, we’re fueled by our values : Celebration, Commitment, Continuous Improvement, and Compassion. We believe in doing the right thing—even when it’s hard. You’ll be part of a team that celebrates wins, learns from challenges, and never stops raising the bar.
