WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Estimates here get built between other obligations. Sales and operations leaders price work in the gaps in their day, which means bids go out late, small projects sit, and larger pursuits get a rushed takeoff instead of a careful one. The field pays for the difference. This seat fixes that with dedicated estimating capacity: a steady, measured output of accurate project estimates. No selling, no project management, no site walks, no service department quoting. Volume and accuracy, every day. If you are good at this work and tired of everything else that gets stapled onto it, this seat was built specifically for you. THE OPPORTUNITY Columbia Fire has been in the Seattle market since 2005 with a union field force. You will price everything from a small tenant improvement to a full high-rise design/build new construction, tenant improvement, retrofit, and system upgrade work, both design/build and plan-and-spec. You will also help build the estimating standard itself labor units, assemblies, pricing databases, and bid templates rather than inherit a finished one. As the Columbia Fire brand grows into markets outside Seattle, this seat will have the opportunity to estimate and bid work in those markets from wherever you sit
