The work is deadline-driven, fast-paced, and accuracy is key. The right person will take pride in catching details others miss and producing consistently accurate work. This is not a general office job. It is a precision position for someone with real field experience who understands how buildings go together and can translate that knowledge accurately from plans to takeoff. This role requires a quick learner who can absorb a defined process, retain detailed instructions, move efficiently through plan sets, and maintain accuracy under deadline.
