The Project Director / Estimator at Frontier Services Group is responsible for the financial and administrative ownership of assigned reconstruction projects, from estimate to final billing. This includes writing accurate scopes, securing signed agreements, managing draw schedules, submitting supplements, maintaining project documentation, and ensuring complete financial closeout.
The Project Director / Estimator does not manage the field production or subcontractor coordination—that remains with the assigned Project Manager. Instead, the Project Director / Estimator focuses on scope integrity, client communication, billing compliance, and documentation accuracy in Procore.
