As an Estimator, I reviewed tender invitations, project drawings, and addendums to assess scope and requirements, while performing detailed take-offs for labor, equipment, and materials using Bluebeam Revu. I assisted senior estimators in preparing pricing sheets and submitting bids, and communicated with General Contractors, Subcontractors, and suppliers to gather quotes and clarify project details. I built strong relationships with suppliers and clients to secure projects and maintain long-term partnerships. Additionally, I managed estimate records post-award, attended weekly meetings to review labor forecasts and project procurement, and conducted site visits to ensure accurate cost estimates. I also monitored awarded contracts, analyzed competitor proposals, and identified opportunities for value engineering to optimize project outcomes.
