Responsibilities

Prepare and lead estimates for drilled shafts, driven pile, earth retention, ground improvement, and related specialty deep foundation scopes.
Review drawings, specifications, geotechnical information, and bid documents to develop takeoffs, production assumptions, labor, equipment, material, subcontractor, and indirect costs.
Identify scope gaps, exclusions, alternates, constructability concerns, schedule impacts, and project risks that may affect pricing, bid strategy, or execution.
Coordinate bid documents, pricing requirements, estimate packages, clarifications, and proposal information with internal stakeholders, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients.
Work with operations, field leadership, and project teams to validate means and methods, crew sizing, equipment needs, schedule durations, and production expectations.
