The Estimating Coordinator supports the estimating and preconstruction team in preparing accurate, detailed, and competitive pricing for a variety of commercial projects.

Subcontractor & Vendor Coordination

  • Maintain bid coverage and ensure timely follow-up for competitive participation.
  • Assist in preparing detailed scope sheets and comparing proposals for completeness.

Bid Preparation & Proposal Support

  • Support Senior Estimators in developing detailed bid proposals and cost summaries for submission to clients.
  • Participate in internal bid reviews and post-bid scope evaluations.
  • Assist in preparing budget estimates, GMP proposals, and design-assist pricing.

Preconstruction & Collaboration

  • Work closely with project managers, superintendents, and design teams to ensure accurate cost alignment during preconstruction.
  • Support value engineering and constructability reviews.
  • Participate in client and subcontractor meetings as needed.
  • Review drawings, specifications, and addenda to identify scope requirements, inconsistencies, and value engineering opportunities.
  • Utilize estimating software such as Bluebeam and Procore to perform takeoffs and pricing exercises.
  • Help maintain and update historical cost data.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field preferred.
  • 0–3 years of relevant experience in construction estimating or project management (co-op or internship experience acceptable).
  • Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, and trade scopes.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; familiarity with Bluebeam and Procore preferred.
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and analytical mindset.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Passion for learning and professional growth in the general contracting industry.
