- Liaise with internal stakeholders regarding project scope, timelines, and technical requirements.
- Assist in reviewing drawings and project documentation to ensure constructability and commercial accuracy.
- Proactively raise questions, clarify project requirements, and identify potential issues before pricing.
- Support project delivery by coordinating changes, variations, and documentation throughout the estimating process.
What We're Looking For
Required Experience
- Minimum 5 years of estimating experience within structural steel, fabrication, construction, or related industries.
- Strong experience preparing quantity take-offs and BOQs.
- Ability to interpret structural, fabrication, and engineering drawings.
