  • Apply knowledge of construction methods, sequencing, and productivity to prepare competitive estimates.
  • Monitor market conditions and material pricing trends to ensure estimate accuracy.
  • Support the preconstruction process by collaborating with internal project teams throughout the bidding cycle.

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline with at least two years of estimating experience; or
