  • Work closely with engineering, design, and operations teams to validate constructability assumptions
  • Develop and present bid packages and proposals to management and clients
  • Monitor and maintain estimation databases and historical cost records
  • Provide value-engineering input to optimize cost, schedule, and constructability
  • Assist in postbid work: reviewing subcontractor scopes, clarifications, and incorporating changes
  • Support change order pricing and claims as needed
What We’re Looking For (Qualifications & Skills)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil/Structural Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience estimating structural / specialty construction (steel erection, precast, heavy structure)
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, structures, steel detailing, connections, concrete, erection sequencing
  • Proficiency with takeoff/estimating software (e.g. Bluebeam, OnScreen Takeoff, Sage Estimating or equivalent)
  • Experience with Excel models, cost databases, and bid spreadsheets
  • Excellent negotiation skills and vendor/subcontractor sourcing relationships
  • Strong verbal and written communication: ability to present to management and clients
  • High attention to detail, with ability to think holistically (schedule, risk, logistics)
  • Ability to manage multiple bids under tight deadlines
  • Willingness to travel to job sites for bidding, site visits, or support (as required)
  • Professional attitude, integrity, teamwork orientation
What You’ll Get (Benefits & Perks)
  • Competitive salary with performance or bonus incentives
  • Comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, life insurance)
  • 401(k) plan with company matching
  • Paid time off, holidays
  • Opportunity to work on landmark, highvisibility projects
  • Exposure to all phases of construction and opportunity for growth
  • A safetyfirst culture that truly prioritizes employee wellbeing
