Support procurement and project handoff activities following award.
Maintain estimating databases, production rates, and historical cost information.
Collaborate with project teams to incorporate lessons learned into future estimates.

Experience working with subcontractors, suppliers, and project teams throughout the tendering process.

Technical Skills

Proficiency with estimating software or the ability to quickly learn new estimating platforms.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
Experience reviewing engineering drawings and performing detailed quantity take-offs.
Understanding of labor productivity, equipment costing, material pricing, and construction methodologies.
Familiarity with contract documents, specifications, procurement processes, and construction contracts.

What Makes You Successful

Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple tenders and competing priorities.
Strong business and commercial awareness.
Self-motivated with a proactive and results-oriented approach.
Strong collaboration and relationship-building abilities.
Sound judgment and decision-making skills.
Commitment to accuracy, quality, and continuous improvement.
