Job Description
About Us
We’re a hands-on commercial general contractor that takes pride in doing the work ourselves. From concrete and excavation to carpentry, trim-out, and interior finishes — we self-perform many aspects of our projects and are proud of the quality that comes with that. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a reliable, detail-focused Construction Estimator to join our team.
This role is perfect for someone who understands boots-on-the-ground construction, knows how the work really gets done, and can turn that knowledge into accurate, competitive estimates.
What You'll Be Doing
- Review plans, drawings, and specs to put together accurate estimates for commercial construction projects
- Break down scopes of work for self-performed trades like concrete, carpentry, trim, etc.
- Gather and compare subcontractor and supplier quotes
- Help build realistic project budgets and timelines with our project management team
- Visit sites (when needed) to understand logistics or confirm details
- Track changes to scope or design and update pricing accordingly
- Find ways to keep us competitive without cutting corners
- Keep records of pricing history and completed estimates for future reference
What We’re Looking For
- A solid understanding of commercial construction and how things go together
- Estimating experience (ideally 3+ years), especially in trades like concrete, carpentry, and finishes
- Confidence in your abilities and the ability to work without direction
- Strong attention to detail, especially with numbers and scopes
- Able to read and interpret construction drawings and specs
- Good communicator — comfortable talking to subs, suppliers, and the team
- Organized and dependable
Bonus Points If You Have
- Field experience or trade background
- Experience with self-performed work
- A sense of humor and a get-it-done attitude
What We Offer
- Competitive pay (based on experience)
- 401K
- 401K match
- Profit Sharing
- Health Insurance
- Paid time off
- Paid holidays
