Preconstruction Estimator- Commercial

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
\nCompany Description

With 50 years in business, nobody has more experience. Bancare has been your local ally in the bank equipment business since 1972. Our client relationships span years and even decades, which is a testament to our sales and service philosophy.

Bancare provides construction services, equipment sales and service, as well as tech support and facility maintenance.

Commercial construction is a significant portion of our business. From remodeling to full ground up construction, we do it all and do it right. The financial industry appreciates and recognizes our quality, and we will continue to uphold our reputation by providing the highest standards for our customers.
