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

• Competitive pay (based on experience)
