Build Winning Projects Before They Break Ground

At RK, our Estimators play a critical role in shaping project success from day one. As an Estimator, you'll combine technical expertise, strategic thinking, and collaboration to develop competitive, accurate estimates that help secure new work and set projects up for successful execution. Working closely with Sales, Preconstruction, Operations, and field teams, you'll analyze scope, identify value engineering opportunities, and influence project strategy throughout the pursuit process.

And you won't build alone. RK's in-house fabrication, manufacturing, construction, and building services capabilities give our teams resources that many contractors simply don't have.

This is an opportunity to leave a legacy, not just complete another project.
