Design and implement scalable preconstruction workflows that improve estimate accuracy and speed, bid coverage and subcontractor engagement, and cross-functional collaboration
Lead technical engagements such as workflow design sessions, tailored product demonstrations, implementation of takeoff and cost solutions, and development of dashboards for cost tracking and forecasting
Build dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into estimate vs. actual performance, bid participation, and cost trends
Partner with Customer Success Managers to execute against Customer Success Plans by aligning preconstruction initiatives to Autodesk capabilities and measurable business outcomes
Support customers in connecting preconstruction to downstream construction workflows
Provide best practices on digital transformation of preconstruction, including change management strategies for estimators and precon teams
