Provide constructability advice during pre‑construction, coordinating with operations teams on procurement, schedule, and logistics
Track estimated vs. actual costs, report variances, and support lessons learned for continuous improvement
Build and maintain exceptionally strong relationships with subtrades, consultants, suppliers, and all of our valued clients

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

Ten or more years of experience in commercial construction estimating
Minimum of 5 years of experience estimating for a general contractor not self performing developer
Proven experience leading complete building estimates from concept through submission for complex commercial, institutional, healthcare, residential, recreational, or mixed-use developments.
Able to clearly present complex cost data and influence decisions
