**Workplace:** remote

## Requirements

### **Architectural Assistant – Estimating, Bidding & Construction Coordination | Remote**

**Position Type:** Full-Time, Remote  
**Working Hours:** EST/CST U.S. Business Hours

### **About the Role**

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a highly organized **Architectural Assistant** to support estimating, bidding, project coordination, and documentation for commercial **casework and millwork projects**.

This is not a basic administrative role. You’ll be directly involved in the bidding lifecycle—from reviewing invitations to bid and coordinating estimates to preparing proposals, tracking submissions, and supporting awarded-project handoffs.

If you have experience with **Bluebeam, construction documentation, estimating support, or bid coordination** and are comfortable managing multiple deadlines, this role is a strong fit.

### **What You’ll Own**

### **Bid Qualification & Project Organization**

-   Review incoming Invitations to Bid (ITBs)
-   Assess project scope, location, fit, and relevance
-   Organize drawings, specifications, bid documents, and project files
-   Maintain structured records in Notion, Google Drive, and internal systems
-   Ensure project information remains accurate, accessible, and current

### **Estimating & Bid Coordination**

Work closely with internal and external estimating resources to keep bids moving.

You’ll:

-   Coordinate with estimators, takeoff specialists, and estimating partners
-   Assign projects and monitor estimating progress
-   Track bid deadlines and submission requirements
-   Follow up proactively on outstanding deliverables
-   Clarify scope details and identify missing documentation
-   Maintain visibility across active bids and deadlines

### **Bluebeam & Construction Documentation**

-   Use **Bluebeam** to review construction drawings and project documents
-   Navigate plans, specifications, and relevant bid information
-   Support estimating and takeoff workflows
-   Identify documentation gaps or unclear project requirements
-   Maintain accurate drawing and document records

**Hands-on Bluebeam experience is required.**

### **Proposal Preparation & Bid Submission**

-   Review completed estimates for accuracy and completeness
-   Convert estimates into professional client-facing proposals
-   Format proposals using Microsoft Word and PDF tools
-   Submit bids through **BuildingConnected**, contractor portals, and project management systems
-   Verify all required documentation before submission
-   Ensure bids are submitted accurately and on time

### **Bid Tracking & Contractor Follow-Up**

Follow up with General Contractors regarding:

-   Bid status
-   Pending decisions
-   Awarded projects
-   Lost bids and feedback

Maintain organized tracking of:

-   Submitted bids
-   Pending opportunities
-   Awarded projects
-   Rejected/lost bids
-   Contractor communication
-   Project outcomes

Provide clear reporting visibility to internal stakeholders.

### **Post-Award Coordination**

Once a project is awarded:

-   Coordinate the internal project handoff
-   Notify accounting of deposits and relevant project details
-   Organize awarded-project documentation
-   Update project status across internal systems
-   Communicate scheduling and next steps to relevant stakeholders
-   Ensure a smooth transition from estimating to execution

### **What Makes You a Strong Fit**

You are:

-   Highly organized and process-driven
-   Detail-oriented with construction documentation
-   Comfortable managing multiple bids simultaneously
-   Proactive with follow-ups and deadlines
-   Confident communicating with estimators and contractors
-   Calm under pressure when deadlines overlap
-   Comfortable working independently
-   Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction

### **Required Experience & Skills**

### **Must-Have**

-   **1–3 years of experience** in one or more of the following:

-   Estimating support
-   Construction administration
-   Project coordination
-   Architectural support
-   Bid coordination

-   **Hands-on Bluebeam experience – required**
-   Experience working with construction or architectural documentation
-   Strong proficiency with:

-   Google Drive
-   Microsoft Word
-   Microsoft Excel

-   Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines simultaneously
-   Excellent written and verbal English
-   Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
-   Ability to work remotely during EST/CST business hours

### **Nice to Have**

Experience with:

-   Commercial millwork or casework
-   Notion
-   BuildingConnected
-   Adobe tools
-   Construction drawings and specifications
-   Takeoffs and estimating workflows
-   Bid management systems
-   General Contractor communication
-   External estimating teams

### **What a Typical Day Looks Like**

You might:

-   Review new bid invitations and determine project fit
-   Organize drawings, specifications, and project files
-   Review documentation in Bluebeam
-   Assign projects to estimators and monitor deadlines
-   Follow up on outstanding estimates
-   Prepare and format proposals
-   Submit completed bids through contractor portals
-   Follow up with General Contractors on bid decisions
-   Update awarded, pending, and lost bid records
-   Coordinate internal handoffs for newly awarded projects

**In short:** You keep the estimating and bidding process organized, accurate, and moving—from the initial bid invitation through project award.

### **Key Metrics for Success**

-   On-time bid submission rate
-   Accuracy and completeness of proposals
-   Minimal missed deadlines or submission errors
-   Organization and accuracy of project documentation
-   Consistent contractor and estimator follow-up

-   Smooth post-award project handoffs

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   Direct exposure to contractors and estimating teams
-   Build deeper experience in:

-   Construction estimating
-   Bid management

-   Construction operations

-   Fully remote environment with structured workflows
-   Growth opportunities into:

-   Estimating Coordinator
-   Bid Coordinator
-   Project Coordinator
-   Construction Operations
-   Estimator
