Job Summary
The Estimator I develops assigned estimate components and scopes under defined direction while learning Loenbro estimating standards, systems, and cost-development methods. This role performs quantity takeoffs, compiles pricing, organizes quotations, identifies scope concerns, and maintains complete estimate documentation. Project value is a planning guide rather than a classification gate; assignment complexity, risk, scope definition, and required independence govern the work assigned.
Essential Job Responsibilities
- Perform quantity takeoffs and develop assigned scope in accordance with bid documents and work breakdown requirements.
- Compile labor, material, equipment, subcontract, and indirect-cost inputs using approved sources and methods.
- Solicit and organize vendor and subcontractor quotations; document coverage, qualifications, and missing information.
- Identify scope gaps, design discrepancies, commercial concerns, and project risks for senior review.
- Maintain estimate files, assumptions, clarifications, exclusions, and supporting documentation.
- Meet assigned deadlines and participate in estimate reviews, site visits, pre-bid meetings, and turnover activities.
- Use approved estimating, takeoff, CRM, and document-management systems accurately.
- Apply review feedback and demonstrate measurable growth toward independent estimate execution.
