About Us
C4 Builders, LLC is a growing commercial construction company recognized as one of the top general contractors based in Charlotte and one of the best places to work among mid-sized companies. We specialize in ground-up construction across multiple Southeastern states.
We are built on a strong team culture where character, honesty, and hard work drive everything we do.
Position Summary
The Senior Estimator leads preconstruction and estimating efforts for commercial construction projects, delivering accurate, competitive, and strategic bids. This role goes beyond estimating—you’ll help drive pursuit strategy, influence project selection, and partner closely with operations and leadership to win the right work at the right margins. If you are an experienced estimator seeking more influence as a key decision maker—not just turning numbers—this is an opportunity to step into a more impactful role at a well-regarded growing mid-sized company.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead full-cycle estimating for commercial projects (conceptual through GMP/bid)
- Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs, cost models, and bid packages
- Analyze drawings, specifications, and proposals to identify risks and opportunities
- Develop and maintain subcontractor and vendor relationships within the regional market
- Solicit, level, and evaluate subcontractor bids
- Collaborate with preconstruction and operations teams on value engineering initiatives
- Present estimates to leadership and contribute to bid strategy decisions
- Mentor junior estimators and support process standardization
- Track historical cost data to improve pricing accuracy
- Support business development with budgeting and early-phase estimates
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (preferred)
- 10+ years of commercial construction estimating experience
- Experience with projects ranging from $2M to $10M+
- Ground-up retail, office, healthcare
- Office and retail interiors
- Strong knowledge of the Southeast subcontractor market
- Proficiency in Procore
- Ability to lead estimates independently and manage multiple pursuits
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
Preferred Traits
- Established local and regional subcontractor network
- Ability to drive pursuit strategy—not just develop estimates
- Experience with design-build or negotiated work
- Demonstrated leadership potential
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary: $125K – $150K
- Performance-based bonus potential
- 401(k) with company match
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
- Company-paid life insurance
