Compensation: Up to $180,000 DOE

How you’ll contribute
  • Produce conceptual and detailed estimates, plus meticulous quantity takeoffs
  • Develop and present budgets, GMPs, and well‑scoped bid packages
  • Interrogate plans/specs; factor in site logistics and schedule to refine costs
  • Coordinate solicitation, leveling, and analysis of trade partner and vendor pricing
  • Advance value engineering options and cost‑efficiency measures
  • Participate in client, architect, and internal planning sessions
  • Build lasting subcontractor relationships and curate historical pricing libraries
What makes you successful here
  • Minimum 5 years estimating experience in commercial construction environments
  • Exposure to civil and structural scopes preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction, Engineering, Architecture, or related field preferred
  • Fluency with Microsoft Office and estimating software
  • Clear communicator with superb organization and analytical rigor
