- Lead RFP responses and prepare and submit bid proposals
- Identify technical issues and project logistics early in the process
- Negotiate with new and existing clients
- Collaborate with project managers for seamless project handoff
What We're Looking For:

- Experience estimating across all project phases
- Strong negotiation and communication skills
- Detail-oriented, organized, and self-driven
- Advanced computer skills, including estimating software
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
