Operational & Financial Collaboration

Partner closely with Operations, Project Management, and Field Leadership to ensure estimates align with execution capabilities and historical performance.
Support project turnover meetings and ensure seamless handoff from estimating to operations.
Track estimate performance versus actual project costs and drive continuous improvement through post-project analysis.
Assist leadership with forecasting, backlog planning, market analysis, and strategic growth initiatives.
Build and maintain subcontractor, supplier, and vendor relationships to ensure competitive pricing and market intelligence.

Client & Business Development Support

Support business development efforts by participating in client meetings, networking, and relationship management.
Assist in identifying target markets, project opportunities, and strategic pursuits.
Represent the company professionally with owners, general contractors, engineers, architects, and industry partners.
