- Collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and mechanical leads to ensure seamless transition from preconstruction to field execution.
- Engage and qualify subcontractors and vendors; solicit competitive pricing and evaluate bids against technical requirements.
- Maintain accurate documentation, estimate assumptions, and version control of drawings and submittals.
- Identify and mitigate preconstruction risks related to schedule, site conditions, code compliance, and mechanical integration.

- Bachelors degree in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of progressive preconstruction or estimating experience, with a minimum of 35 years focused on multifamily and HVAC/mechanical systems.
- Demonstrated expertise in blueprint reading, take-offs, SOV preparation, and construction documents.
- Proven track record in cost optimization, value engineering, and producing accurate, bid-ready estimates.
- Experience managing submittals, RFIs, CCDs, and contract change processes.
- Familiarity with estimating and take-off software (e.g., Bluebeam, Plan Swift, Trimble, Sage Estimating) and proficiency with MS Office.
