- Support development of proposal cost volumes and pricing narratives.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Program Management, Finance, and Business Development teams to develop accurate and defensible cost estimates.
- Develop estimating relationships, historical databases, pricing tools, and reusable estimating artifacts.
- Analyze RFPs, Statements of Work (SOWs), technical requirements, and contract structures to determine pricing approaches.
- Support pricing reviews, executive reviews, and proposal strategy discussions.
- Train and mentor internal personnel to establish long-term pricing capability.
- Develop repeatable processes and documentation to support future proposal efforts.

- Strong understanding of labor estimating, material estimating, subcontractor pricing, travel, ODCs, and indirect cost structures.

- Strong understanding of FAR, DFARS, and government proposal compliance requirements.
- Experience working directly with engineering and technical organizations to develop proposal estimates.
