• Develop project budgets, pricing models, and bid proposals
• Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor pricing
• Lead value engineering and scope optimization efforts
• Coordinate with field operations, project managers, vendors, and ownership
• Ensure all bids are accurate, complete, competitive, and professionally presented
Required Qualifications

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Ability to read and interpret grading, drainage, and utility plans
• Experience estimating commercial parking lots, roadways, and civil infrastructure
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills
