  • Review contract documents (plans, specifications, addenda, scopes of work) and perform quantity takeoffs for materials, labor, and equipment.
  • Gather and organize supplier/subcontractor pricing and data under supervision to support accurate budgeting and proposals.
  • RFP/RFQ responses.
  • Maintain accurate, organized project files, estimate records, and documentation.
  • Help identify design challenges, code gaps, constructability issues, and value engineering opportunities.
  • Participate in client and stakeholder meetings as needed to gather scope and provide basic estimating support.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (estimating, operations, sales) and external partners to align deliverables with project objectives.
  • Assist with special projects, research, or administrative tasks related to estimating as assigned.
  • Actively learn commercial construction methods, mechanical systems, estimating techniques, and Modigent standards through on-the-job training and mentorship.

This is a safety-sensitive position.
  • Understanding of commercial construction practices, mechanical systems (HVAC/electrical/plumbing/piping preferred), and reading blueprints/specifications.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel essential for data organization and calculations; Word and Outlook for communication).
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and eagerness to learn quickly.
  • Effective written and verbal communication with a professional demeanor.
  • Collaborative team player with the ability to work toward increasing independence.
