  • Prepare estimates across multiple design phases (Concept, Schematic, Design Development, Construction Documents).
  • Assemble and submit bid packages and proposals for various contract types (Lump Sum, GMP, Cost Plus).
  • Review site conditions and contract documents to identify missing or unclear scope items.
  • Collaborate with estimating and operations teams to ensure general conditions and requirements are accounted for.
  • Evaluate subcontractor proposals, verify scope coverage, and assist in risk management for potential scope gaps.
  • Make recommendations to the Chief Estimator for subcontractor/vendor selections.
