The Estimator / Project Coordinator RoleAccurate estimates and tight project coordination are the foundation of every successful project. This role owns both sides of that equation. On the front end, you will define scope, perform takeoffs, solicit subcontractor pricing, and build the estimates that set the baseline for budget, schedule, and risk. Once a project is awarded, you will help keep it on track by coordinating subcontractors, tracking schedules and change orders, and maintaining clear communication between clients, field teams, and Ownership. A solid estimate paired with disciplined coordination is what prevents scope creep, budget overruns, and missed deadlines.
