Prepare formal quotations and proposals that clearly document labor hours by trade, material costs, testing costs, and total estimated pricing in compliance with Navy and ABS documentation standards.
Initiate, attend, and participate in cost and price reviews; present labor estimates, assumptions, and risk assessments to management for pricing strategy development.
Maintain organized estimating files, including drawings, specifications, labor breakdowns, and supporting documentation for all quotes and proposals.
Other duties as assigned.
