Review incoming bid invitations and ensure every bid is evaluated and pursued.
Complete accurate takeoffs for overhead door and related systems.
Build and submit written proposals for internal approval.
Communicate with GCs throughout the bidding process; act as the primary point of contact until a job is awarded.
Transition awarded jobs to project managers with clear documentation.
Maintain strong organization and attention to detail on documentation, timelines, and bid follow-through.
Work onsite as needed for collaboration; hybrid schedule may be considered.
What We're Looking For
