We are a commercial General Contractor in the Denver metro area, with a clear plan to scale to $50M and ultimately $100M+, is hiring a hands-on Chief Estimator & Director of Preconstruction. Company details will be shared with qualified candidates.

About the Role

This is a builder's role first — someone who personally estimates complex and ground-up commercial projects every week, not someone who only reviews or delegates. The estimating and preconstruction department is being scaled now, the standards and team you put in place become the backbone the company scales on.

Responsibilities

Personally estimate on a regular basis; lead and mentor our estimating team
Build and lead preconstruction from pursuit through turnover — constructability, VE, GMP, technical negotiation
Build the standards, templates, and cost database a scaling department needs

Qualifications

5–10+ years in commercial GC estimating, including ground-up construction — not only renovation or TI work
A real, specific, verifiable project list
Not a fit: residential-only, subcontractor/single-trade, or owner's rep/CM-agency background without GC-side estimating

Required Skills

Hands-on commercial GC estimating experience
Ability to personally estimate complex and ground-up commercial projects on a regular basis
Leadership and mentoring skills for an estimating team
Capability to build standards, templates, and cost databases for a scaling department

Preferred Skills

Experience leading preconstruction from pursuit through turnover
Experience with constructability, VE, GMP, and technical negotiation

Pay range and compensation package

Compensation: $130,000–$155,000 base, DOE, plus benefits.
Scope and compensation grow with the company.
