- Factor in demolition, tear-off, and disposal requirements in all cost breakdowns
- Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain up-to-date pricing and availability for retrofit-compatible materials and equipment
- Prepare and present detailed cost breakdowns and bid proposals that include contingency planning for unforeseen issues
- Collaborate closely with project managers, sales, and the estimating team to ensure project goals, schedules, and budgets align
- Track and manage changes to project scope, ensuring estimates remain accurate as new site conditions emerge
- Assist with post-bid reviews and participate in project handoffs to operations to ensure smooth project execution
What You Bring to the Team
