The Estimator for FORJAK's Concrete Restoration Division is responsible for preparing accurate, competitive, and comprehensive cost estimates and project proposals. This role requires strong analytical skills, previous construction estimating experience, and the ability to interpret project plans, specifications, and field conditions.

• Perform accurate quantity take-offs using applicable software and established FORJAK processes.
• Prepare clear written proposals, including scopes of work, clarifications, and pricing structures.
• Attend pre-bid meetings, site visits, and client walk-throughs to gather detailed project information.

• Solicit and analyze bids from subcontractors and suppliers to ensure accuracy and competitiveness.
• Maintain strong vendor relationships to support project success.
• Verify subcontractor qualifications and compliance with FORJAK’s safety and quality standards.

• Develop and maintain cost databases, production rates, and pricing benchmarks.
• Track cost variances and lessons learned to support continuous improvement.
• Review estimate-to-actual results with project management teams.

• Complete job costing, reporting, bid documentation, and organized record-keeping for all estimates and correspondence.
• Maintain updated documentation in One Source and other FORJAK systems.
• Assist with developing standardized estimating tools and processes.

• Partner with project managers, field supervisors, and executives to provide accurate and timely estimating support.
• Participate in internal handoff meetings to review scope and cost details.
• Provide technical support to other divisions when concrete restoration expertise is needed.

• Adhere to all company safety and work policies.
