Job Description

Job Description

Ready to Estimate Across Multiple Disciplines?

Do you thrive on turning drawings into clear quantities and defensible pricing? Can you toggle between fire protection/life safety, civil/structural, and general scopes without missing a beat? If so, imagine your next project: you build a ROM for early budgeting in the morning, level specialty subcontractor bids after lunch, and close the day syncing long-lead life safety equipment with the schedule—while keeping every detail aligned in the Preconstruction portal.

The Offer

• Remote-first role with optional workspace at our Oviedo, FL HQ
• Travel: approximately 12–15 days each month for walks, visits, vendor meetings, and coordination
• Contract-to-hire or direct hire (6+ months)

Your Mission

• Produce ROM and detailed estimates for proposals, budgets, and GMPs.
