bid cycles
• Current bonding capacity of $1.5M with targeted 20% year-over-year growth
Key Responsibilities
• Prepare detailed estimates and competitive bids for park and site development projects
• Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to ensure complete scope coverage
• Perform plan reviews, quantity takeoffs, and cost analysis
• Identify project risks, scope gaps, and value-engineering opportunities
• Support bid strategy, pricing reviews, and division growth initiatives
Requirements
• 8 years of estimating experience in civil, site, park, or landscape construction
• Strong relationships with San Diego-area subcontractors and suppliers
• Proficiency with estimating tools such as BlueBeam, HeavyBid, PlanSwift, or similar
