  • Proven track record with large-scale commercial or government projects ($25M+)
  • Familiarity with FAR/DFARS, Davis-Bacon Act, and federal wage determinations
  • Proficiency in estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, RSMeans)
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

What You’ll Get in Return
