Prepare conceptual budget estimates for projects in Schematic Design and Design Development stages; evaluate and compile budgets and bids (conceptual estimating, hard bids, and negotiated bid work). Demonstrate basic conceptual estimating skills by interpolating data and synthesizing cost data from multiple sources into a conceptual estimate. Analyze and determine the approach for various project delivery types (Lump Sum, Cost Plus, GMP, CM at Risk). Recruit, source, and build relationships with specialty contractors and vendors; establish and maintain positive client relationships with owners, design teams, PM/CMs, and subcontractors/suppliers. Build and maintain relationships with architects and engineers; manage a relationship plan with owners and key stakeholders. Organize and present prepared estimates in construction division format to clients, architects, and engineers; complete accurate take-offs and internal estimates per division. Solicit bids from the specialty contractor market; prepare qualifications and assumptions aligned with contract requirements and incorporate them into proposals. Obtain clarifications on plans and specifications and integrate them into proposals; review and approve proposals, bids, and vendor submissions. Coordinate project schedule review to ensure timely preparation of General Conditions/Field Services with trade packages; attend pre-bid meetings, site tours, and post-bid interviews as required. Represent Muckleroy & Falls in design and coordination meetings; lead meetings on projects, maintain an action log, and assign responsibilities. Maintain scope issue log and compile pricing with assistance from estimating as needed; maintain cost data bases and industry knowledge. Consult with industry experts to discuss estimates and resolve issues; collect and organize bid information for future reference. Participate in formal project pursuit approaches and assist in submission deliverables (estimate, general conditions, field services, logistics plan, schedule, clarifications/qualifications, interview process). Build project schedules with Microsoft Project; support business development and maintain customer relationships; assist with subcontractor buy-outs on specific projects as needed. Assist in training other preconstruction/estimating staff; attend industry events and represent the company professionally; stay current with estimating technology and techniques.

Be self-motivated to deliver results; demonstrate effective leadership and communication skills. Develop and maintain customer relationships; interface with project consultants and bid presentations. Prepare thorough, high-quality deliverables with strong attention to detail; understand plans, specifications, and construction documents. Handle multiple responsibilities in a deadline-driven environment and manage design-to-budget processes. Lead pre-bid meetings and bid strategy; oversee internal estimate reviews and bid processes. Maintain technical knowledge through workshops and publications; collaborate with operations and design management as a team liaison. Requirements
Leadership, honesty, loyalty, work ethic. Four-year bachelor’s degree or commensurate experience in construction science/management. Four or more years of experience estimating commercial construction projects in the $5M to $50M+ range. Ability to analyze and interpret drawings and specifications; general knowledge of construction principles and processes.
