- Prepare and submit estimates for bids, ensuring they are complete and ready at least 24 hours prior to submission deadlines
- Maintain records of past budgets, bids, and completed projects to improve future estimating practices
- Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and internal teams to adjust estimates and clarify project expectations
- Identify and recommend design alternatives based on cost-efficiency, quality, and material availability
- Travel to meet with current and prospective clients, helping to build and strengthen business relationships
- Represent Prestressed Concrete Construction at meetings, site visits, and industry events to promote the company and uncover new opportunities
- Follow internal estimating procedures and support other departments when needed
- Perform other duties as assigned
What We’re Looking For
