Full Job Description

Please note, applicants that apply at our direct link here will get preference review: https://auchconstruction.bamboohr.com/careers/45

Position Overview: The Lump Sum Bidding Estimator is responsible for preparing accurate, timely, and competitive lump sum bids for commercial construction projects, currently with a primary focus on K–12 schools, higher education facilities, municipal buildings, and healthcare institutions. This role requires a strong understanding of public and institutional project requirements, and involves collaboration with internal teams, subcontractors, and clients to deliver comprehensive and compliant proposals.

Accurate Quantity Takeoffs & Cost Estimation

Perform precise material and labor takeoffs using plans, contract documents, and specifications for the project.
Utilize historical data, subcontractor quotes, and supplier pricing to develop estimates.
Validate estimates against past projects and industry benchmarks.

Bid Preparation, Submission and Analysis

Review and interpret specific contract and/or project documents, such as: RFP/Specifications, project scope of work (SOW) and more to ensure full understanding of SOW.
Develop complete and competitive lump sum bid proposals.
Ensure compliance with all bid requirements, addenda, and deadlines.
Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to gather pricing and confirm scope coverage.
When bid successful, perform a detailed post-bid analysis report.
Conduct pre-bid meetings, site visits, and bid reviews to assess project conditions and inform pricing strategies.
Coordinate with architects, engineers, consultants, and project stakeholders to clarify scope and project requirements during the bidding process.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Identify potential cost risks, scope gaps, and exclusions in bid documents.
Analyze contractual obligations, bonding, and insurance requirements.
Work with leadership to develop risk mitigation strategies for competitive yet profitable bids by providing appropriate data to quantify risk and proposed strategies.
Identify and recommend value engineering opportunities and alternative solutions that improve cost-effectiveness while maintaining project requirements and quality expectations.

Market & Competitor Analysis

Assess current market conditions, labor costs, and material price trends.
Research competitor pricing strategies and past bid results to position the company effectively.
Provide leadership with insights on bid competitiveness and profitability.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and finance to refine estimating assumptions.
Capture lessons learned from past projects to improve future bids.
Stay updated on industry best practices, new estimating software, and technological advancements.
Assist other estimators as requested in various projects/tasks which may include preparing and assembling bids for different contract types (Lump Sum, Guaranteed Maximum Price, Design Build and Cost Plus).

Qualifications & Skills Desired:

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent direct experience)
3+ years of experience in commercial construction estimating, with a strong and verifiable portfolio of lump sum bidding
Proven experience with public sector and institutional projects (K–12, higher education, municipal, or healthcare)
Strong understanding of public bid processes, compliance requirements, and documentation standards
Proficient in estimating tools and software, such as: WinEst (highly sought) Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, or similar
Highly detail-oriented with strong mathematical and analytical skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interaction with clients, consultants, and team members
Ability to work under deadlines, prioritize tasks, and manage multiple estimates simultaneously
Knowledge of regional labor rates, subcontractor market, and construction materials

Working Environment:

This role includes responsibilities performed in a traditional office setting. Office-based duties may involve extended periods of sitting or standing at a workstation, consistent computer use, and participation in meetings. Employees may experience typical office conditions such as moderate noise levels, climate-controlled environments, and standard ergonomic expectations.

In addition to office work, this position may also require regular activity in dynamic construction site environments. Site responsibilities may include extensive walking across uneven or varied terrain, climbing ladders, and working at heights. Frequent bending, lifting, and carrying of items over 10 pounds are integral to the role. Candidates must be comfortable managing the physical demands of an active construction site while ensuring safety, awareness, and productivity throughout daily operations.
