  • Proven ability to deliver accurate cost estimates for large commercial and industrial projects.
  • Proficient in estimation software (e.g., Bluebeam, Procore, or similar).
  • Deep understanding of construction processes, materials, and industry standards, especially for trade-specific areas (e.g., mechanical, electrical, plumbing).
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural, civil, and structural drawings.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with clients, subcontractors, and internal teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with Ohio building codes, regulations, and permitting processes is a plus.
