Junior Estimator

BlueTeam is a national provider of commercial restoration, reconstruction, capital-improvement, and roofing services. Operating through an integrated family of companies under a unified brand, BlueTeam serves commercial property owners and operators across senior living, healthcare, hospitality, multifamily, institutional, municipal, office, and retail markets.

BlueTeam's Preconstruction Department is an enterprise function supporting opportunities across Restoration, Reconstruction, Capital Expenditures, and Roofing. The department brings discipline and consistency to estimating, scope development, constructability, risk identification, trade-partner engagement, procurement planning, scheduling, and operational turnover before project commitment.

The Junior Estimator is the entry point into BlueTeam's Estimating and Preconstruction career track. Working under the guidance of an Estimator, Senior Estimator, or Preconstruction Manager, you'll support quantity takeoffs, scope development, cost research, trade-partner solicitation, quote leveling, proposal documentation, and constructability reviews building real ownership of work packages as you grow. Initial assignments focus on commercial renovation and CapEx work, with exposure to Reconstruction, Roofing, Restoration, and claims-based estimating as you develop.

This role is a great fit for early-career candidates or professionals transitioning from field supervision, project coordination, procurement, roofing, a construction trade, or design. We hire for aptitude, judgment, and growth potential not pedigree or years of experience.
