  • Bid Strategy & Client Engagement

  • Lead go / no-go evaluations and bid strategy meetings with executives.
  • Present estimates, budgets, and schedules to clients and internal leadership.
  • Coordinate RFP responses and ensure professional, compelling bid submissions.
  • Serve as the preconstruction point of contact for key retail clients, ensuring responsiveness and reliability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with design and production teams to review feasibility, installation methods, and site logistics.
  • Coordinate with operations to align preconstruction deliverables with field execution needs.
  • Support procurement with vendor negotiations and national account partnerships.
  • Qualifications
