Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t a back-room numbers job. This is where strategy meets construction reality.

  • Lead pricing strategy discussions and contribute to go/no-go decisions

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with trade partners, owners, and internal project teams

  • Identify risks, opportunities, and value-engineering options before they become field problems

  • Support preconstruction meetings and handoff processes to ensure clean project launches

  • Continuously refine estimating systems, historical cost data, and best practices

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of estimating experience in commercial or large-scale construction

  • Strong understanding of means, methods, and real-world construction costs

  • Confidence communicating with project managers, superintendents, and executives

  • Proficiency with estimating software and Excel, plus a comfort level with ambiguity

  • A mindset that balances precision with big-picture thinking

  • Integrity, curiosity, and the ability to defend your numbers without defending your ego

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Competitive salary of $110,000–$120,000

  • High visibility role with real influence on company success

  • Collaborative preconstruction team that values smart debate and shared wins

  • Projects you’ll be proud to point at and say, “I helped make that happen”

  • A culture that respects your time, your expertise, and your growth

If you enjoy turning complexity into clarity and numbers into momentum, this is where your talent pays off ?????
