The purpose of the role is to make sure no bid opportunity, addendum, plan update, deadline, or important project communication is missed.
Primary purpose:
Review every email, determine what action is needed, assign it internally, and track it until the proper person takes ownership.

Maintain an orderly inbox and electronic filing structure so information can be located quickly.
Opportunity Validation and Routing

Determine whether each opportunity or message is relevant to Elite’s services and business.

Check that the available project information includes the basic details needed for internal review, including project name, location, customer, scope, plans or specifications, and bid due date when provided.

Route each item to the appropriate estimator, business development representative, branch leader, operations leader, or manager.
