• Determine project scope and complete detailed estimate quantification and costing, including labour, equipment, materials, subcontractor scopes, and productivities, using company‑standard estimating programs and historical data.
• Analyze tender documents, drawings, and specifications to assess constructability, identify risks and opportunities, and recommend cost‑effective solutions based on engineering quality, material availability, and market conditions.
• Develop estimating strategies and support competitive bids, including assembling conceptual and budget estimates, analyzing subcontractor bids, proposing innovations, and participating in or leading bid closes with senior estimator oversight.
• Support project planning and financial analysis, including preparing preliminary construction schedules, assisting with project budgeting, change management, cash flow considerations, and providing accurate assessments of risk and scope.
