In this role, you’ll lead and support detailed and conceptual estimating efforts, review drawings and specifications, prepare bid documents, participate in estimate presentations, manage bid solicitation, evaluate proposals, and collaborate with project teams, trade partners, owners, and design partners. You’ll also contribute to target value design, risk and opportunity reviews, cost modeling, and the transition of estimate information to project teams—bringing both technical estimating expertise and a relationship-focused mindset to the work.

The anticipated salary range for this position is $108,000 - $143,000 annually. This information reflects the anticipated base salary for this position based on current market data.
