Key Responsibilities

• Full-Scope Marine Bidding: Develop complete, bottom-up estimates for complex marine infrastructure, pile driving over water, docks, bulkheads, cellular cofferdams, and waterfront civil scope.
• Operational & Access Modeling: Partner with field operations, engineering, and fabrication teams to set accurate crew sizing, marine plant selection, and water-borne production rates.
• Risk & Strategy Reviews: Evaluate constructability, site logistics, and environmental constraints, presenting pricing strategy directly to executive leadership prior to bid submission.
• Vendor Procurement: Pressure-test and negotiate pricing from specialty subcontractors, material suppliers, and equipment providers.
• Cost Calibration: Track post-project job costs against estimate assumptions to continuously sharpen future bidding production rates.

• Technical Literacy: Ability to translate complex engineering drawings, geotechnical reports, and specifications into realistic operational estimates.

Key Advantages

• Unmatched Self-Perform Capacity: Win bids backed by an extensive company-owned marine fleet, heavy crane capacity, and in-house structural and pipe fabrication shops.
• Proven Industry Leader: Supported by decades of financial strength, top-tier safety performance, and a dominant regional footprint in heavy marine and industrial construction.
• Agile Private Ownership: Direct access to executive decision-makers and field leadership without corporate red tape.
