  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, jobsite visits, post-bid reviews, and scope clarification discussions as needed.
  • Provide detailed estimates, cost breakdowns, budget assumptions, and scope documentation during project handoff.
  • Manage multiple bids simultaneously and ensure all proposals are complete, accurate, and submitted within required deadlines.
  • Identify opportunities to improve estimating workflows, refine pricing strategies, and strengthen overall bid accuracy.
