  • Craft scope specifications and requirements, input project schedules, perform quantity takeoffs and create cost summary sheets.
  • Maintain an accurate and current database with cost codes for historical data.
  • Review Company projects and estimates for accuracy verification.
  • Utilize relevant company and industry historical data for precise pricing estimates.
  • Transmit bid invitations efficiently through Building Connected.

  • Proficiency in BlueBeam and Excel.
  • Strong leadership, diplomatic, and motivational skills, capable of leading a team.
  • Proven ability to work creatively and analytically in a problem-solving environment, showcasing teamwork, innovation, and excellence.
  • Build and maintain relationships by engaging business leaders to establish credibility, solve problems, build consensus, and achieve objectives.
  • Excellent leadership, communication (written, verbal, and presentation), and interpersonal skills.
  • Proactively driven and decisive, demonstrating flexibility in the face of change and competing demands.
  • Advanced project estimator skills, including performing engineering calculations and effective communication with Application Engineers, Product Managers, Project Managers, Engineering, and Vendors.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to read, understand, and organize construction plans and specifications.
  • Solid organizational and problem-solving skills.
  • Capability to work independently with minimal structure, exercising sound judgment.
