  • Proficiency in construction cost estimating software (e.g., RSMeans, Timberline, WinEst) and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with clients, consultants, and team members.
