  • Build subcontractor scopes, analyze bids for gaps and risk, and select subs who give us a competitive edge
  • Read and stress-test CPM schedules for procurement, lead times, and critical path impact on cost
  • Flag constructability issues and value-engineering opportunities during design
  • Manage risk and contingency exposure on both the owner and subcontractor side
  • Own insurance and contract cost implications — OCIP/CCIP, Builders Risk, AIA contract forms
  • Mentor junior estimators and represent the company in RFP responses and client presentations
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
  • 4-year degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or equivalent field experience
  • 5+ years of estimating experience with a GC or subcontractor
  • Proficient in Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, BIM 360 Glue, and PlanGrid
  • OSHA 30, First Aid/CPR certified
  • Strong communicator who builds lasting subcontractor and client relationships
Benefits
  • 100% ESOP, competitive pay with bonus program, full medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with match, student debt assistance, and generous PTO.
