• Identify risk in key trades (MEP, fire protection, civil)
• Collaborate with PMs, design teams, operations, and executives
• Support buyout and scope documentation post‑award

• Excel (strong proficiency required)
• Bluebeam
• On‑Screen Takeoff–type software
• Building Connected or similar (training provided)

• 3–5+ years of commercial construction (and DOD) estimating experience
• Ground‑up vertical construction background
• Strong understanding of GC trade scopes
• Comfortable owning bids and working in a team environment
• Design‑Build experience preferred
• Federal/DOD experience helpful but not required

• Team‑oriented culture with low turnover
• Clear systems and leadership access
• Real growth runway as the company scales
