Construction Estimator, New Homes + Multifamily, Takeoff Support + Bonus on Every Win | 3659015

- : , , $ .

This is the estimator seat at an established residential design-build contractor. About 75 percent of the work is new square footage: custom homes, large additions, ADUs and small multifamily. Projects run $250,000 to $4 million, and the average is around $650,000.

• A virtual assistant does the takeoffs and loads the templates, which covers 30 to 60 percent of the work before it reaches you.

• The system is already built. With the templates and pre-priced items, a basic to mid-grade project takes about 90 minutes to 3 hours to price.

• You are in the room. You walk the site with the salesperson and present the estimate with them as the technical voice.

• You own the number from the first site walk to the handoff to the project manager.

• The company is growing into ground-up multifamily in the 5 to 20 unit range, and this seat prices it.

• 2 to 4 estimates out the door each week, with 2 to 10 active at a time

• Plan review, scope, pricing and subcontractor bids on every project

• About 30 percent of your time with clients, on site walks and estimate presentations

• A clean turnover to the project manager when a job is sold

• You have priced whole buildings, not one trade, and most of your work has been new construction.

• You worked for the builder the owner hired, and you have presented numbers to homeowners or property owners.

• You work fast inside a system someone else built, and you make it better rather than starting over.

• You are glad to hand off takeoffs and spend your time on scope and judgment.

• Not your seat if your estimating has been remodels, insurance restoration or a single trade, if you priced apartment turns for an investor and never met a client, or if you want to work from home. The job is on site in San Diego five days a week.

• Around 10 years estimating new residential construction: custom homes, large additions or multifamily

• San Diego subcontractor and supplier relationships you can use on day one

• Strong plan reading, plus working knowledge of California code and permitting

• Comfort with modern estimating software. The team runs Stack for takeoffs and is changing project management platforms within the next year, so adaptability matters more than any one tool.

• A plus: pricing in CSI divisions, which usually comes from light commercial or larger multifamily work

• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship

• $100,000 to $150,000 base, depending on experience

• A bonus on every project you win

• Medical, dental and vision, with the company paying half of the base medical plan for employee-only coverage

• 401(k) with a 4 percent company match

• Paid sick leave, flexible vacation after 90 days, and mileage reimbursement

• A company vehicle with a fuel card, if you want one
