  • Champion the adoption of upgraded estimating tools and technologies, including software transitions.
  • Serve as a critical liaison between preconstruction and operations, fostering trust and collaboration.
  • Take initiative in resolving issues proactively and driving change without disrupting team cohesion.
  • Conduct regular site visits as needed.

Qualifications

Must Haves:

  • Minimum of 10 years of estimating experience in general contracting.
