Joining Trimerge means becoming part of a professional and supportive team environment that is fully committed to your success and offers clear opportunities for career advancement. We value your growth, which is why we provide a structured path to move from technical take-offs to mastering the operational side of self-perform contracting. We ensure you have the tools to succeed by providing a robust tech stack and a collaborative office culture in Greenville for your first year, transitioning to a hybrid model as you master our systems. If you are ready to apply your analytical skills within a company that invests in its people and offers a path for long-term development, we want to hear from you.

Job Responsibilities:

• Blueprint Translation: Review architectural drawings and finish schedules to meticulously identify every scope of work for our internal self-perform crews.

• Data Integration: Take precise take-off quantities and input them into our proprietary Google Sheets pricing engines, ensuring every linear foot is accounted for.

• Operational Math: Apply labor production rates based on specific site conditions and project complexity to ensure our bids are as realistic as they are competitive.

• Systems Management: Utilize ClickUp to manage the bid pipeline and ensure all critical documents, addendums, and quotes are properly filed within our Google Drive ecosystem.

• Scope Development: Draft the "Narrative" of our proposals. You must be able to clearly articulate what we are providing and—crucially—what is excluded to protect our project margins.

• Material & Vendor Coordination: Proactively reach out to suppliers to secure real-time pricing on studs, gypsum board, and specialty coatings to keep our data models current.

Job Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Construction Documents: The ability to read and interpret complex commercial architectural blueprints and specifications is mandatory.

• Technical Aptitude: High proficiency in Google Workspace (Sheets/Drive) and experience with Digital Take-off software is required.

• Mathematical Precision: Strong accurate measuring and construction math skills are essential for protecting project profitability.

• Operational Interest: A desire to learn the "how" behind the "how much"—understanding labor rates and site logistics.

• Communication Skills: Strong written communication skills for drafting clear, professional bid proposals and exclusions.

• Organization: Exceptional ability to manage multiple bid deadlines simultaneously using PM software like ClickUp.

• Professional Demeanor: Ability to coordinate effectively with vendors, suppliers, and internal project managers.
