- Proposal Submission: Assist in preparing and delivering competitive, timely bid submissions and proposals.
- Cost Control Support: Maintain organized records of past estimates, historical pricing data,



and contracts to assist project management teams during project execution.

- Ontario Bidding Platforms: Hands-on experience navigating construction procurement and tender sites used in Ontario.
- Driver's Licence: Valid driver's licence for occasional site or client visits.
