Mentor Estimators and Preconstruction Managers.
Promote consistency in estimating processes, documentation, and scope coverage.
Support the development of benchmarking tools, historical cost data, and best practices.
Contribute to the growth and long-term success of the preconstruction department.
7+ years of commercial construction estimating experience.
Experience independently leading complex estimates, GMPs, and major pursuits.
Strong understanding of conceptual estimating, procurement strategy, constructability, and risk analysis.
Experience with negotiated, CM-at-Risk, Design-Build, and hard bid delivery methods.
Strong subcontractor relationships and market knowledge.
Proven leadership experience with the ability to mentor and develop others.
Strong communication and presentation skills.
Accurate, competitive, and well-developed estimates.
Early identification and management of project risks.
Strong collaboration and confidence between Preconstruction and Operations.
Positive client experiences throughout the pursuit process.
Continuous improvement of preconstruction processes, tools, and team capabilities.
