Develop preliminary Bills of Materials (BOMs), Work Breakdown Structures (WBSs), and project handoff documentation for awarded work;

Support the pricing and preparation of change orders and scope revisions throughout the project lifecycle;

Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers, distributors, and industry partners to support accurate estimating and cost planning.
