GPAC

Commercial Estimator Opportunity

Build the future. Advance your career.

A premier commercial general contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, complex construction projects is seeking an experienced Commercial Estimator to join its growing team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an estimator who wants more than a job. You'll have the opportunity to work on high-profile commercial projects, collaborate with an experienced leadership team, and play a key role in winning profitable work.

The company offers competitive compensation, exceptional benefits, long-term career stability, and significant advancement opportunities.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare accurate and competitive estimates for commercial construction projects
  • Review architectural and engineering plans, specifications, and bid documents
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing
  • Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate subcontractor and vendor proposals
  • Develop detailed conceptual, schematic, and hard-bid estimates
  • Analyze labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and general-condition costs
  • Identify scope gaps, risks, and potential cost-saving opportunities
  • Prepare bid proposals and maintain accurate estimating documentation
  • Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, architects, engineers, and clients
  • Participate in pre-bid meetings, site walks, and proposal reviews
  • Assist with value engineering and constructability reviews
  • Maintain strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
  • Track market conditions and current material and labor costs
  • Support business development efforts by helping identify profitable opportunities

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of commercial construction estimating experience
  • Strong understanding of commercial construction methods, materials, and costs
  • Experience with plans, specifications, takeoffs, and bid preparation
  • Strong analytical and mathematical skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational abilities
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills
  • Ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines simultaneously
  • Experience with Bluebeam, OST, Planswift, Procore, On-Screen Takeoff, Excel, or similar estimating software preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred but not required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out Lucrative Compensation

  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Annual merit increases
  • Potential profit-sharing opportunities
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance where applicable

Premium Benefits Package

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Life insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability coverage
  • HSA/FSA options
  • Employee wellness programs
  • Professional development and continuing education
  • Company-sponsored training and certifications

Career Advancement

  • Clear path toward Senior Estimator, Chief Estimator, Preconstruction Manager, and Director-level positions
  • Work directly with experienced construction leadership
  • Opportunity to estimate increasingly complex and higher-value projects
  • Strong investment in employee development
  • Stable organization with long-term growth potential

The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for a driven, detail-oriented estimator who understands that winning the right projects is just as important as producing an accurate estimate.

If you're ready to join a premier commercial construction firm, work on exciting projects, earn a strong compensation package, and take the next step in your career, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

Confidential Opportunity

All candidate inquiries will be handled confidentially. Qualified Commercial Estimators are encouraged to apply or reach out directly to learn more.
