  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, estimate reviews, and bid/no-bid evaluations.

  • Strong organizational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple bids and meet deadlines.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites as needed.

  • 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.
