Own the numbers behind competitive bids on utility infrastructure projects. You lead the estimating group while staying hands-on with the estimates yourself, and work closely with operations from bid through hand-off.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Lead and mentor the estimating team. Turn client RFPs and scopes of work into complete, defensible cost estimates. Run quantity take-offs and build bid schedules from plans and specifications. Join pre-bid meetings, bid strategy sessions, and site walks. Define subcontractor and supplier packages and pressure-test their pricing. Assemble bid packages and carry them through internal approval. Compare actual costs to budget and feed what you learn into the next bid. Support project managers through hand-off, resource planning, and change orders.
