Senior Estimator

$135k - $175k

RimePro Inc

Job Description

Job Description

Summary
Looking for a Senior Estimator who can lead preconstruction on ground up industrial and large scale commercial projects in the Irvine market. Someone who can look at a set of plans and understand what it actually takes to build it, not just plug numbers into a spreadsheet. This is a high visibility seat with real influence over what work gets pursued and how the region grows.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead estimating on ground up work, with a heavy focus on industrial, tilt up, and large commercial builds
  • Dig into drawings and specs to build accurate, competitive estimates
  • Run detailed takeoffs and pricing models from concept through GMP
  • Handle subcontractor outreach, leveling, and bid analysis
  • Partner with ops, PM, and leadership on strategy and execution
  • Flag risks and opportunities early, before they become problems
  • Sit in on client presentations and help sell the company as a builder people trust

Qualifications

  • 7+ years estimating with a commercial general contractor
  • Real ground up experience, especially industrial work like tilt up warehouses, distribution centers, or large concrete structures
  • Track record leading estimates solo from early concept to final pricing
  • Strong grasp of means and methods, particularly structural systems and site work
  • SoCal subcontractor relationships are a plus
  • Comfortable moving fast and owning your work

Requirements

  • Procore, Bluebeam, and estimating software experience preferred
  • Ability to work at both the corporate office and jobsites as needed
  • Strong written and verbal communication

Compensation and benefits

  • $135K–$175K base, depending on experience (market estimate, flag if you have their actual number)
  • Standard benefits package
  • PTO and paid holidays

Why join us
We're a growing Southwest construction company based in Irvine, focused on ground up industrial and large commercial work. This is a seat with real ownership, if you like driving strategy and being the one in the room when it counts, this is that kind of shop.
