The opportunities this week are varied and promising. Whether you’re looking for a traditional role or something more flexible, there’s something here that might be worth exploring. Good luck with the applications!

, the ‘apply promptly’ bit is real — twice this month my estimator leads evaporated after waiting a day. For remote roles I ask if they’ll share the Tekla model via Trimble Connect (https://connect.trimble.com) and send a one-page sample takeoff; if they won’t provide model access, I budget extra hours or skip.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠‌​‌‌​​‌⁠​‍‌​​‌​⁠​‌‌​‌‌‌‍‍​‌‍⁠​‌‌‌​​⁠​‌‌‌‍‍‌​‍⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌‍​‍​⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

@k_lee49 I’ve been landing remote estimator gigs by sending a one-page inclusions/exclusions with my first email and asking for ‘typicals + bolt schedule’ upfront. If they can’t share the Tekla model, I do a 10‑min Trimble Connect screen‑share to verify connections and add a small contingency — saved me on a joist‑heavy school bid last week.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍‍​⁠‌⁠‌‍‍‍‌‌​‍‌​​‍‌‌​‍‌‌⁠⁠‌‌​‍​⁠‌⁠‌​‍‌‌​​‌‌‍‌‍‌​⁠‍‌⁠‌‌‌‍‍‍​⁠‌​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I confirm ‘connection design by who?’ and revision index; fewer surprises: https://www.aisc.org/codes-specs/. If they balk, I walk.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌⁠‍​‌‌‌‍‌‌​⁠‌‌​‌​⁠‌​‌‍‍‍‌​‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠‌‍‍‍‌​‍⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍​⁠‌‍⁠‍‌​‌‍‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

On estimator calls I always pin down who owns ‘misc metals and anchors’ and ask for the anchor rod plan up front; half my surprises used to hide there. If it’s fuzzy, I price with explicit allowances and cite bolt class per RCSC to avoid slip‑critical adders later: https://www.boltcouncil.org/specification.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍⁠‍‌⁠​​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌‌‌​​⁠​‌‌‌⁠⁠‌‌‍​‌​​‌​⁠​‍‌‍⁠‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‍​‌​‌⁠‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

I lock down freight and site off-loading — ‘who owns trucks and offload gear’ — before I price; got burned once when a mill delivery hit a no-crane site on a remote bid. If they won’t confirm, I carry rigging and a drop fee in clarifications; @j_francis88, you seeing the same?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍‌‍​⁠‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌​‍‍‌​⁠‌‌​‍‌‌‌‌​‌​⁠​‌​‌⁠‌​‌​​‍⁠‌‌‍‍​‌‍‍‍​‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​​

Quick tip: on ‘real-time and might expire’ bids, I set a 7-day quote validity and an explicit plate/shape escalation clause, and I ask for an addenda cutoff 24 hours before close; it saved me when A36 plate jumped 6% mid-week. If they won’t allow the clause, I include a buy-now alternate and note the mill lead time I used.
