- Validate quantities, durations, equipment needs, and constructability assumptions.
- Review subcontractor and vendor proposals for completeness, risk, alignment with scope, and value-engineering opportunities.
- Support proposal development, clarifications, and documentation.
- Collaborate closely with project managers during turnover to ensure alignment and execution readiness.
- 5-15 years of industrial estimating experience.
- Background in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or heavy mechanical construction.
- Strong ability to interpret structural, mechanical, electrical, and P&ID drawings.
- Advanced Excel skills and strong organizational habits.
- Excellent communication and ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
