  • Create detailed scopes of work across multiple trades to ensure accurate, comprehensive project estimates.

  • Build strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers, coordinating bid invitations, pre-bid questions, RFIs, clarifications, and bid reviews.
  • Assemble competitive bid proposals and develop winning strategies that align with client goals and project requirements.
  • Collaborate with clients, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams throughout preconstruction to develop practical, cost-effective solutions.
  • Coordinate a smooth handoff from preconstruction to the construction team once projects are awarded.

  • Organized & Self-Directed: Detail-oriented, dependable, and able to manage multiple estimates, priorities, and deadlines with minimal oversight.
  • Collaborative & Purpose-Driven: Value teamwork, integrity, and delivering quality construction solutions that support clients and strengthen local communities.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
