• Coordinate closely with suppliers on pricing, lead times, procurement risks, and alternate solutions.
• Incorporate market trends, labor productivity, escalation, and supply chain conditions into estimates.
• Lead value engineering efforts and develop cost-saving alternatives while maintaining project requirements.
• Prepare executive-level estimate summaries, clarifications, and proposal narratives.
• Facilitate internal bid reviews and present estimate strategy to leadership.
• Lead handoff meetings with project management teams upon award to ensure continuity from preconstruction to execution.

• Proven ability to lead estimates for large, complex, or fast-track projects.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring others or contributing to team development.

• Deep understanding of commercial and mission-critical electrical systems.
• Expertise in interpreting construction drawings, specifications, and schedules.
• Experience with conceptual, design-build, and negotiated estimating.
• Ability to assess constructability, schedule impacts, and execution risks.
