*This role is remote with up to 20% travel required.
 

Responsibilities 

• Maintain a deep, working knowledge of preconstruction workflows, including quantity takeoff (2D & 3D), estimating and cost planning, bid management and subcontractor solicitation, scope alignment and leveling, prequalification and bid risk, and design-to-estimate workflows 

• Serve as a subject matter expert in how the Forma Industry Cloud (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) supports the end-to-end preconstruction lifecycle, including model-based and document-based takeoff, estimating, bidding, bid leveling, and subcontractor coordination 

• Discover and analyze customer preconstruction processes, tools, and pain points, including fragmented estimating workflows, manual takeoffs, and lack of qualifications, backlog, and cost visibility 

• Design and implement scalable preconstruction workflows that improve estimate accuracy and speed, bid coverage and subcontractor engagement, and cross-functional collaboration 

• Lead technical engagements such as workflow design sessions, tailored product demonstrations, implementation of takeoff and cost solutions, and development of dashboards for cost tracking and forecasting 

• Build dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into estimate vs. actual performance, bid participation, and cost trends 

• Partner with Customer Success Managers to execute against Customer Success Plans by aligning preconstruction initiatives to Autodesk capabilities and measurable business outcomes 

• Support customers in connecting preconstruction to downstream construction workflows 

• Provide best practices on digital transformation of preconstruction, including change management strategies for estimators and precon teams
