Senior Estimator

Metric DCX

$9B+ in annual revenue, 3,000+ people, 17 offices - and the Data Center group in Herndon, VA is growing. We're looking for a Senior Estimator to take ownership of pricing on some of the most technically complex, fast-moving projects in the business.

The following information provides an overview of the skills, qualities, and qualifications needed for this role.

What the role involves

  • Running point on cost estimates for large, complex builds - from early budgeting through final bid
  • Leading and mentoring junior estimators and MEP specialists as part of a growing team
  • Digging into scopes and drawings with the design team to catch issues before they become costly ones
  • Sourcing and evaluating subcontractor pricing, and negotiating where it counts
  • Bringing a value-engineering mindset - finding smarter ways to hit budget without sacrificing quality
  • Staying close to clients and design partners so pricing reflects what they actually need
  • Keeping an eye on the market - material costs, labor trends, subcontractor capacity - and building that into every number

What you'll bring

  • Solid estimating experience at a senior level, ideally on large-scale commercial or mission-critical projects
  • Comfort with standard estimating tools (Timberline, OST, or similar) plus Excel
  • A degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is a plus, not a xhyhwjd requirement
  • The judgment to spot risk early and the communication skills to explain it clearly
  • A genuine interest in data center or mission-critical construction

Strong pay, full medical/dental/vision, 401(k) match, generous PTO, backup daycare days, disability coverage, and commuter benefits - plus a seat on one of the fastest-growing teams in the company.

Note: this role will require daily travel to Boston MA
