Preconstruction Analyst (Waxahachie)
About The Position

You will act as the bridge between customer request, customer service, and project management, ensuring that every project is built on a foundation of accurate data and assisting other estimators in navigating data and building up cost more efficiently. This role will be working onsite in Waxahachie, TX.

- Ability to present technical data findings clearly to executive leadership and customers.
- An obsession with precision in measurements and blueprint interpretation to avoid costly errors.
Responsibilities
