Responsibilities

Technical Design & Estimating

Budgeting: Build detailed line-item budgets in JobTread, ensuring every stick of lumber, yard of concrete, and hour of labor is accounted for

Material Lists: Generate precise takeoffs for framing, finishes, and accessories. You are the first line of defense against material shortages

Vendor Management: Solicit and vet bids from subcontractors and suppliers to ensure our pricing is competitive and current

Margin Control: Verify that every estimate meets our Gross Profit targets before it leaves your desk

Proposal Creation & Design

The "Package": Transform raw data into a stunning, brand-aligned proposal document. You ensure the layout, fonts, and imagery look professional

Narrative Writing: Write the "Scope of Work" in plain English. You translate technical jargon into clear value statements so the client understands exactly what they are buying without getting bogged down in confusing details

Visuals: incorporate 3D renderings (via SmartBuild or similar tools) into the proposal to help the client visualize the end result

Sales Support

The Handoff: Review the final proposal with the Project Consultant (Salesperson) to ensure they understand the "Why" behind the price and can present it with confidence
