Estimator

Bancare Inc

Job Description

Job Description

Estimator — Commercial Construction ????Arlington Heights???? 80,000-100,000 (based on experience) | Full-time

Bancare has been building (literally) since 1972 — today we run two divisions covering commercial construction and bank equipment/security. We're growing our estimating team and looking for someone who wants real ownership over the numbers behind ground-up and tenant improvement projects, not just data entry into a template.

What you'll do

  • Build accurate, competitive estimates for commercial construction projects — from drawing review through final bid
  • Run quantity take-offs and pricing for labor, materials, equipment, and subs
  • Solicit, compare, and level subcontractor and vendor bids
  • Spot scope gaps, risks, and value-engineering opportunities before they become problems
  • Sit in on pre-bid meetings, site visits, and client presentations as part of the preconstruction team
  • Hand off clean, complete bid packages to Project Management
  • Mentor Junior Estimators as you grow into the role

What you need

  • 2+ years of commercial construction experience, including ground-up estimating, preconstruction, or related project work
  • Comfortable reading construction drawings and specs
  • Solid Excel/Microsoft Office skills

Nice to have (not required)

  • Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field
  • Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, OpenSpace, or similar
  • Exposure to design-build, CM, negotiated, or hard-bid delivery

Why Bancare

  • Clear path forward: Estimator → Senior Estimator → Team Lead Estimator
  • Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, life/disability, 401(k), PTO
  • Fast-paced team that actually collaborates — not siloed
