Preconstruction Estimator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes "Description" and "Position Overview". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Description: company overview. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Description" is about company. Could map to "About the role" maybe. But we need to decide. We have "Position Overview" which describes role responsibilities. Could be "Responsibilities" or "About the role". The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings. We have "Assigned Responsibilities" with sub-sections: Client Development, Preconstruction, Construction Planning. That's responsibilities. We have "Requirements" section. We have "Licensure/Certifications" maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications. Could be "Qualifications". We'll treat as Qualifications. We have "Benefits" section with list. We have no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We also have "Skills" maybe implied from Requirements (knowledge of MS Office, estimating software, interpersonal skills, organizational skills). Could create a Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. We can combine some. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all details from the posting. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation note, note to search firms, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content: Company description (Description): "F.H. Paschen has over 115 years of experience in the construction industry. You’ve driven on highways we paved, you’ve travelled through airports we modernized, you’ve commuted through rail stations we constructed, and your children learn in schools we built. But we are MORE than that. We offer MORE Versatility—as we work in any industry, offering any delivery method and service. We operate with MORE Tenacity—as we maneuver through tight schedules, spaces, and budgets. We provide MORE Ingenuity—by creating solutions to solve your greatest challenges. And we perform with MORE Pride—in focusing on safety and quality, and in offering more opportunities for our communities and diverse populations to build with us. We deliver far more than just on time and on budget—we deliver with MORE Paschen." Position Overview: "The Preconstruction Estimator has daily involvement in the preconstruction phase of various projects by sourcing and reviewing potential opportunities, preparing budgetary estimates/schedules, and formulating work plans based on conceptual or schematic designs through construction documents. The Estimator helps develop project GMP by performing quantity take-off, soliciting subcontractor pricing as necessary, and/or applying historical cost data. The Estimator will be involved with both public and private clients." Assigned Responsibilities: broken into three categories. Client Development: - Promote the growth and development of Client and Designer relationships. - Maintain positive working relationship with Client and Architect and/or Engineer contacts to facilitate successful project execution. - Attend Client initiated meetings throughout the preconstruction phase of the project. - Meet with owners, architects, and other industry related professionals to network and promote the interests of F.H. Paschen. - Monitor and review potential opportunities via various solicitation websites. Preconstruction: - Prepare preliminary budgets, conceptual estimates and detailed estimates (conceptual, schematic, design development, construction) including quantity take-offs. - Review documents and provide input regarding general conditions, project phasing and site logistics. - Create subcontractor/material supplier bid lists. - Solicit subcontractor input when necessary. - Prepare bid packages, obtain bids from subcontractors and material vendors, and analyze bids from subcontractors and material vendors. - Participate in preconstruction presentations with the Owner (i.e., Design Development estimates or Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) booklets, etc.). - Collaborate with Architects, Engineers, Consultants to identify, track and implement value engineering opportunities to proactively guide the design to optimize cost. - Have a working knowledge of material unit costs, systems square foot costs and total building square foot costs. - Research, compile and maintain historical data base for use in future preliminary budgets and pricing - Identify and qualify new material suppliers and subcontractors and place into subcontractor database. - Review proposal specifications and drawings to determine scope of work and required contents of estimate. - Prepare discipline estimates by calculating complete takeoff of scope of work. - Maintain files of working documents as back up for estimate figures, including current (accurate) information on prices from suppliers through direct contact, sales brochures, price lists, etc. - Prepare instruction to bidders and other bid solicitation information as requires Construction Planning: - Participate with the preconstruction team during the strategy meetings on the approach to the project or estimate. - Assist in the preparation of preliminary construction schedules and work plans. - Attend design meetings with Owner, Architect, Engineers, and Consultants - Participate in the project hand-off meeting between the project Operations team and the preconstruction team. - Visit on-going projects to verify status of estimate versus project status, meet with the project operations team, view work in place for experience and comparison to the estimate. Requirements: - Over five (5) years, experience with preconstruction and estimating preferred. - Civil and Structural experience in preconstruction and estimating strongly preferred. - Preferred four (4) year degree in construction or civil engineering. - Strong knowledge of MS Office to include Outlook, Excel & Word. - Knowledge of estimating, scheduling and quantity take-off software. - Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills. - Excellent organizational skills and strong attention to detail required Licensure/Certifications: - OSHA certification preferred. Benefits: - Health insurance - Dental insurance - Vision insurance - Paid time off - 401K matching - Flexible spending account - Life insurance - Referral program - Professional development assistance - Eligibility for Year End Bonus - LifeLock Subscription We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we keep all. Now decide sections: We could have:

About the role

with company description + position overview? Might be too much but okay. Alternatively separate:

About the company

not in allowed list. But we can use About the role for role overview. The company description could be placed in a

under About the role. But we must not invent headings not in list. The list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must only use those headings. Thus we need to map content to these headings. - About the role: could include position overview and maybe company description? The position overview describes role. Company description is about employer, not role. But we could still put it under About the role as context. It's not prohibited. - Responsibilities: the Assigned Responsibilities content. - Requirements: the Requirements bullet list. - Qualifications: maybe Licensure/Certifications + preferred degree? But degree already in Requirements. Could treat Qualifications as Licensure/Certifications. - Skills: maybe knowledge of MS Office, estimating software, interpersonal, organizational skills. But those are already in Requirements. Could combine. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we need headings only when we have content. Could have Requirements (includes experience, education, skills, software) and Qualifications (licensure/certifications). That's okay. Skills maybe not needed separately if covered. Benefits: we have. Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit. Thus final HTML:
