  • Maintain historical cost data and support forecasting efforts
Additional Leadership Responsibilities (Level III):


  • Lead negotiation meetings with contractors and subcontractors
  • Facilitate estimate review meetings and coordinate stakeholder alignment
  • Provide guidance to junior estimators and contribute to team performance
  • Take ownership of complex reconciliation and negotiation scenarios
Required Qualifications:


  • 5+ years of estimating experience in construction or engineering projects
  • Experience supporting estimating efforts and managing complex reconciliations
  • Prior experience overseeing or mentoring team members preferred
  • Strong understanding of construction processes and cost drivers

  • Ability to manage multiple projects concurrently
  • Strong communication and stakeholder coordination skills
  • Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and accountability
Technical Skills:
