  • Review plans for missing information, scope gaps, and constructability concerns, and help prepare conceptual and budget estimates as directed.

  • Own document control: organize drawings and specifications, track revisions and version updates, and support permit, compliance, and closeout processes.

  • Act as a key point of contact with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams (estimating, operations, accounting, and field), including procurement coordination and material tracking.

  • Keep the team informed and moving by preparing meeting minutes, project reports, status updates, and schedule tracking.

  • Help maintain estimating templates, databases, and cost logs, and support workflow improvements that make the team more efficient.
