    • Work closely with customers, project managers, field teams, and senior leadership.
    • Develop and improve estimating processes, tools, databases, and workflows.
    • Evaluate and implement estimating software, technology, and AI tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.
    • Track projects through completion and compare estimated costs against actual project performance.
    • Use historical project data to improve future estimates and project outcomes.
    • Help establish estimating best practices and improve team performance.
    • Provide guidance and mentorship to less-experienced team members.
    • Collaborate closely with project management and field operations to ensure alignment from estimate through completion.

    • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
    • Experience with estimating software and related technology.
    • Interest in using technology, automation, and AI to improve estimating processes.
    • Ability to work independently and take ownership of processes and outcomes.
    • Leadership mindset with the ability to mentor and develop others.
