  • Participate in site visits, pre-bid meetings, and constructability reviews as needed
  • Learn and use estimating tools such as HCSS HeavyBid, Agtek, Bluebeam, and internal cost databases
  • Collaborate with project managers, field teams, and the estimating team to support accurate bid development
  • Maintain organized project files, estimates, and supporting documentation

  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans (training provided)
  • Familiarity with estimating or construction software (HCSS, Agtek, Bluebeam) is a plus but not required
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and willingness to learn
  • Ability to work collaboratively and take direction in a fast-paced environment

WHAT WE OFFER:
