• Identify cost-saving strategies, value-engineering opportunities, and alternative solutions
  

• Collaborate with internal development teams to assess financial feasibility
  

• Provide insight to support go/no-go decisions on potential projects
  

What We’re Looking For

• A minimum of 10 years’ experience in estimating or preconstruction, ideally within real estate development or general contracting
  

• Ability to work independently with minimal oversight
  

• Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, and costs
  

• Experience across multifamily, storage, and/or retail projects preferred
  

• A consultative mindset with the ability to see both the details and the big picture
