Proven expertise in bid‑day processes, GMP development, budgeting, and cost forecasting is required, along with strong knowledge of municipal specifications and advanced proficiency in estimating software such as Bid2Win, HCSS HeavyBid, InEight, BlueBeam, and OST. Excellent communication, organizational, and analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast‑paced environment are essential.
