  • Provide detailed estimate breakdowns, assumptions, budgets, and scope information during project handoff.
  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, post-bid reviews, and scope discussions as required.
  • Track multiple active bids and ensure all proposals are complete, accurate, and submitted by deadline.
  • Contribute to improving estimating procedures, pricing strategies, and overall estimating accuracy.
