• Regularly engage with project and field teams to stay connected to actual jobsite conditions and project performance.

• Work with project and field teams to ensure labor forecasts reflect current production and actual field conditions.
• Use project data to identify trends, anticipate challenges, and improve financial results.

Estimating & Procurement

• Lead and support estimating, proposal development, and procurement activities.
• Review estimates and proposals for accuracy, completeness, competitiveness, and alignment with TRICO’s pursuit strategy.
• Lead full estimate reviews with project teams to ensure alignment on scope, budget, self-perform work, cost coding, risk, and buyout opportunities.
• Help teams make smart purchasing and subcontracting decisions that balance cost, schedule, quality, and risk.

• Build strong, long-term relationships that support repeat and referral business.
• Lead and support client presentations, proposals, and pursuit strategies.
• Identify and help develop new project opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant commercial construction project management experience with demonstrated success leading complex projects and project teams.
• Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop Project Managers and other construction professionals.
