  • Develop bid strategies and identify risk/opportunity
  • Partner with operations and leadership during pursuits
  • Play a direct role in winning work
What They're Looking For
  • 8+ years of estimating experience with a general contractor
  • Strong background in commercial, warehouse, or industrial construction
  • Ability to independently manage estimates
  • Strong attention to detail and ownership of numbers
  • Competitive mindset with a high level of accountability
Project Types
  • Commercial
  • Warehouse / distribution
  • Industrial
  • Civic / community-focused work
Why This Role
  • Clear path toward future leadership within estimating
  • Stable, well-established contractor
  • Repeat clients
  • Balanced mix of negotiated and competitive work
  • Collaborative team with strong visibility
