Requirements Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field. Experience: 5‑10 years of experience in estimating for commercial construction, with a proven track record in leading project pursuits across multiple market sectors (Commercial, Industrial, Healthcare, Institutional, Residential).

Software Proficiency: Skilled in Microsoft Office Suite. Leadership and Mentorship: Demonstrated experience in leading Preconstruction meetings and supervising junior staff.

Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision plans, 401(k), generous PTO and paid company holidays, employee assistance program, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, disability coverage, learning & development programs, and more. Compensation The salary range for this position considers a wide range of factors including education, qualifications, skills, training, experience, certifications, internal equity, and location. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for the role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. The nationwide salary range for this position is approximately $85,000 - $100,000 +/- annually (not adjusted for location). #J-18808-Ljbffr Sky Mavis
