About JNC

JNC is a full-service general contractor headquartered in West Fargo, North Dakota, with deep roots in multifamily construction and an expanding commercial portfolio.

Their approach is built around partnership, transparency, strong relationships, and a practical developer-minded perspective. JNC has an ambitious long-term vision for the business and is building the team to support that growth.

The Role

JNC is seeking a Senior Multifamily Estimator to take ownership of the estimating process—from early conceptual budgets through GMP estimates and competitive bids.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands multifamily construction, can independently work through plans and specifications, identify scope gaps, evaluate subcontractor coverage, and develop thoughtful, accurate estimates.

The estimator will work closely with leadership, operations, project teams, subcontractors, and other partners throughout the preconstruction process. Periodic travel to West Fargo, along with occasional project-related travel, will be expected.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop conceptual budgets, cost models, GMP estimates, and lump-sum bids for multifamily projects
• Perform quantity takeoffs and interpret drawings, specifications, and construction documents
• Estimate labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs, and general conditions
• Solicit, review, and evaluate subcontractor and supplier bids to ensure complete trade coverage
• Identify scope gaps, constructability concerns, project risks, and value-engineering opportunities
• Estimate across major construction scopes, including site work, concrete, framing, enclosure, finishes, plumbing, fire protection, mechanical, and electrical
• Collaborate with project teams, clients, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers throughout preconstruction

What Sets a Candidate Up for Success

• 3+ years of construction estimating experience
• Multifamily construction experience strongly preferred
• Ability to independently own an estimate from early budgeting through final bid
• Strong knowledge of construction means, methods, sequencing, and building systems
• Experience with quantity takeoffs, subcontractor solicitation, bid leveling, and scope review
• Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Self-driven and comfortable working independently while staying connected to the broader team
• Construction Management degree preferred; equivalent construction and estimating experience will also be considered

Why JNC

Grow with the business.

JNC has an ambitious vision for the next decade. For the right estimator, that means the opportunity to take on greater responsibility, expand their influence within preconstruction, and grow as the organization evolves.

Build more than an estimate.

Preconstruction at JNC goes beyond producing a number. The team considers constructability, cost, value, and overall project viability—giving estimators the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to project decisions.

Have a meaningful voice.

This is an opportunity to bring ideas forward, strengthen processes, build trusted relationships, and see the impact of your work firsthand.
