What You Bring to the Team Minimum of 4 years of experience in construction management and/or engineering, with a specific focus on cost estimating. 2+ years of experience preparing cost estimates through the planning and design phases of the project life cycle. Experience with estimating software such as RS Means Online, Blue Beam (or other electronic takeoff software), Timberline, and HCSS. Knowledge of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) estimates and long‑term economic trade‑offs. Familiarity with the CSI MasterFormat and UniFormat classifications. Must have a science‑based bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as construction management, engineering, economics, finance, or a related discipline. Benefits Comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, vision, short‑ and long‑term disability insurance). Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – financial profit sharing. Performance‑based bonuses. 401(k) plan. Paid time off (vacation and sick/wellness). Paid holidays. Parental bonding leave. Flexible Work Arrangements Our hybrid, remote, or in‑office options allow you to work in a way that best suits your lifestyle while staying connected and engaged with the team. Salary Range $90,000 USD – $110,000 USD. Compensation is determined by education, experience, location, and role. As employee‑owners, you are eligible for performance‑based bonuses and annual salary reviews.
