- Solicit, analyze, level, and negotiate subcontractor and supplier bids.
- Identify scope gaps, exclusions, risks, and value-engineering opportunities.
- Prepare competitive proposals, cost narratives, and pricing breakdowns.
- Participate in site visits, pre-bid meetings, and estimating discussions.
- Partner with operations to ensure a smooth turnover after award.
- Track estimated versus actual costs to continuously sharpen future bids.
