  • Ensure compliance with federal procurement guidelines, including Buy American Act and wage determinations
  • Develop scopes of work and manage subcontractor RFPs and quote leveling
  • Support proposal development, bid reviews, and value engineering strategies

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • 5+ years of estimating experience, with at least 2 years focused on federal construction projects
  • Proven track record with large-scale commercial or government projects ($25M+)
  • Familiarity with FAR/DFARS, Davis-Bacon Act, and federal wage determinations
  • Proficiency in estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, RSMeans)
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

What You’ll Get in Return

A competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to shape high-impact projects that serve both public and private sectors. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values integrity, innovation, and technical excellence.
