Build the Numbers Behind the Next Big Thing. ?????????

Are you the kind of Estimator who can look at a set of plans and see the story hiding between the lines? Do spreadsheets, takeoffs, and project strategy feel less like paperwork and more like solving a giant construction puzzle? We’re looking for a sharp, driven, and detail-obsessed Estimator who is ready to bring creativity, precision, and a little personality to the preconstruction world.

This is more than just counting quantities and sending bids. This is where ideas become budgets, concepts become concrete, and your expertise helps shape projects before the first shovel ever hits the dirt. You’ll be the behind-the-scenes architect of opportunity, helping teams win exciting projects and build something that lasts.

The Mission (Should You Choose It ????)

As an Estimator, you’ll own the estimating process from early project review through final proposal submission. You’ll collaborate with project managers, superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, and leadership to create accurate, competitive, and strategic estimates that set projects up for success.

You’ll become the numbers navigator, the detail detective, and the trusted voice who helps turn ambitious construction goals into achievable plans.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Review architectural drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and project documents to develop detailed estimates
  • Prepare accurate quantity takeoffs, cost analyses, and competitive bids
  • Analyze labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor pricing, and project requirements
  • Work closely with vendors and subcontractors to gather pricing and validate costs
  • Identify risks, opportunities, and value-engineering solutions throughout the estimating process
  • Collaborate with project teams to ensure smooth transitions from estimating to construction
  • Maintain organized estimating documentation and cost databases
  • Participate in bid reviews, strategy meetings, and project pursuits
  • Bring a proactive mindset to improving estimating processes and workflows

What Makes You a Great Fit:

  • 5+ years of construction estimating experience preferred
  • Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and project sequencing
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications like a blueprint whisperer
  • Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to see the big picture
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
  • Experience with estimating software and construction technology
  • Ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines without losing your cool

Bonus Points If You Bring:

? Experience estimating commercial, civil, industrial, or complex construction projects
? Proficiency with Bluebeam, Sage Estimating, OST, Timberline, or similar platforms
? A passion for finding smarter, faster, and more efficient ways to estimate
? The ability to explain complicated numbers without making everyone’s eyes glaze over

Why This Opportunity?

This is a chance to join a team where Estimators are not hidden behind a desk, they are key players in the success of every project. Your expertise will have a direct impact on the company’s growth, reputation, and the structures that shape communities.

If you’re ready to trade ordinary estimating for a role where your numbers have a name, your ideas have a voice, and your work leaves a footprint, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
