  • Manage subcontractor lists and contacts, conduct research on products and suppliers, and maintain accurate estimating databases and records. 
  • Conduct site visits to collect project-specific data—such as access, topography, and utilities—and analyze historical cost data to support bids. 
  • Prepare and reconcile cost estimates against previous projects and assist in monitoring actual vs. estimated expenditures to assess cost effectiveness. 
  • Facilitate collaboration by coordinating with engineers, architects, subcontractors, and internal teams throughout the estimating process. 
  • Support bid development by preparing expenditure statements, maintaining tender documentation, and participate in estimate review and value-engineering sessions.

  • Excellent attention to detail to ensure accuracy in cost calculations, takeoffs, and documentation. 
  • Effective organizational skills to manage project files and maintain clear records across multiple active estimates. 
  • Time management skills to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced preconstruction environment. 
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities with a focus on data accuracy and clarity. 
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within a team-oriented environment. 
  • Demonstrated interest in the construction industry, especially in estimating or project planning roles. 
  • Adaptability and curiosity to learn new systems, methods, and technologies relevant to estimating.
Required Experience
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field (strong preference for construction-focused programs). 
  • Foundational understanding of construction processes, materials, systems, and terminology. 
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and technical documentation. 
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel for cost tracking and analysis. 
  • Familiarity with estimating tools or software (e.g., Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, or similar platforms) is a plus. 
  • Capable of conducting vendor, material, and cost research to support pricing accuracy. 
  • Experience organizing or contributing to bid documentation, cost databases, and takeoff files (preferred). 
  • Basic knowledge of unit pricing, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimating principles.
