This individual partners closely with the Chief Estimator (technical lead), project management, and executive leadership to ensure consistent success in project acquisition and preconstruction execution.

3. Client Development & Relationship Management

  • Represent the company in preconstruction meetings and client presentations

  • Ensure alignment between estimating, operations, and project management
  • Participate in key client and design meetings

5. Process Improvement, Technology & Data

  • Drive modernization and standardization of preconstruction processes

  • Identify automation and long-term operational improvements

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Project Management for seamless project transitions
  • Align estimating assumptions with field operations
  • Support executive leadership with forecasting and reporting
  • Ensure consistency between estimating outputs and financial performance
