Participate in pre-bid meetings, site walks, client meetings, and estimate reviews. Coordinate with project managers, superintendents, engineers, architects, BIM/VDC teams, subcontractors, and owners. Assist with project turnover from estimating/preconstruction to operations. 4D BIM / Construction Technology The successful candidate will have practical experience with 4D BIM, BIM/VDC, or model-based construction sequencing . Responsibilities May Include Develop or review 4D construction models by linking 3D models with project schedules. Integrate quantities, construction activities, and schedule information into 4D workflows. Use 4D visualization to evaluate construction sequencing and site logistics. Identify constructability conflicts and sequencing issues before construction. Evaluate equipment movement, material flow, access, phasing, and temporary conditions. Support project teams in communicating complex construction sequences through 4D visualization. Assist with schedule development and coordination with project controls. Collaborate with BIM/VDC personnel to improve the connection between estimating, scheduling, and construction operations. Preferred Technology Experience Experience with the following is highly desirable: InEight Estimate Synchro 4D Microsoft Project Autodesk Civil 3D Revit or other BIM platforms Bluebeam HCSS B2W Microsoft Excel Other construction estimating and project management software Commercial Civil Project Experience Experience Estimating Projects Such As Commercial site development Retail and shopping centers Office and mixed-use developments Industrial and manufacturing facilities Warehouses and distribution centers Hospitals and institutional facilities Hotels and hospitality developments Schools and educational facilities Parking lots and parking structures Roads and access improvements Underground utilities Water and sewer systems Storm drainage Earthwork and grading Concrete and site improvements Public/private infrastructure supporting commercial developments Qualifications 5+ years of civil construction estimating experience preferred.
