• Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and field leadership to confirm assumptions, methods, and production rates
• Support bid submissions by meeting deadlines and complying with client and contract requirements
• Assist with transition from estimating to construction by clearly documenting pricing logic, exclusions, and risks
