Key Responsibilities Prepare and analyze construction estimates for custom projects, ensuring precision and timeliness. Leverage software tools (e.g., BIM, CPQ, and other estimating platforms) to streamline and enhance takeoff and estimating accuracy. Develop standardized estimating templates, tools, and workflows to improve consistency and reduce errors. Identify and implement faster, more efficient solutions in estimating processes. Collaborate with project managers, design teams, and leadership to ensure alignment between estimates and project requirements. Train and mentor junior estimators and takeoff specialists to raise team competency and technical proficiency. Work across multiple companies and business units to provide estimating support and develop scalable best practices. Continuously explore and implement new software solutions to stay ahead of industry trends and optimize performance.
Qualifications & Experience Minimum 5–7 years of experience in construction estimating, preferably within custom fabrication, architectural metals, or related fields. Strong software proficiency in estimating platforms and takeoff tools; familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling) is essential. Experience with CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) systems is a strong asset. Proven ability to analyze drawings, specifications, and project documents with a high level of accuracy. Demonstrated experience in developing and improving estimating systems or processes. Advanced Excel or database skills; ability to integrate data and automate reporting. Exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. Initiative-driven, resourceful, and capable of teaching and leading others.
