Estimator​/Bid Coordinator

The Estimator / Bid Coordinator will be responsible for identifying, pursuing, estimating, and tracking commercial construction opportunities from initial bid request through award.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with general contractors, customers, and vendors.
• Maintain organized estimating records and accurate project information using Pro Tech, Fresco, and other company systems.
