You’ll be accountable for the full bid: scope definition, takeoffs, vendor pricing, risk identification, and a clean proposal.

• Source and evaluate vendor pricing (PLAM, veneer, solid surface, quartz, stone, glass, metal, hardware) and identify value‑engineering alternatives
• Prepare proposals, RFIs, qualifications, exclusions, scope letters, and schedules of values
• Build and maintain GC relationships; monitor bid platforms and pursue work that fits the company’s capabilities
• Hand off awarded projects to Project Management and support change‑order pricing through execution

What You Bring

• 3+ years estimating commercial architectural millwork, casework, or custom woodworking
• Hands‑on Innergy experience (required)

• Shop or field experience in millwork fabrication or installation
• Existing GC relationships in the DFW market
