Estimator
Salt Lake City, UT | Competitive Salary
Build the Blueprint. Own the Numbers. Drive the Success.
Some people see a set of plans and think, "That's a building."
You see thousands of decisions, hundreds of cost variables, hidden opportunities, potential risks, and a puzzle waiting to be solved.
We're searching for an Estimator who thrives in the space where strategy meets precision. Someone who can dissect drawings, analyze costs, challenge assumptions, and build estimates that become the foundation of successful projects. If spreadsheets are your battlefield, takeoffs are your superpower, and accuracy gives you an adrenaline rush, this may be the role you've been waiting for.
This is not a position for someone who simply plugs numbers into a system. This is for the estimator who loves uncovering details, finding efficiencies, and helping win projects that shape skylines and communities.
What You'll Be Doing
Mastering the Numbers
- Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs and cost estimates from plans and specifications.
- Analyze project documents to identify scope requirements, risks, and opportunities.
- Develop competitive bids while maintaining profitability targets.
- Review subcontractor and supplier proposals for accuracy and completeness.
- Build and maintain estimate databases and historical cost records.
Collaborating Like a Pro
- Work closely with project managers, superintendents, owners, architects, and engineers.
- Participate in bid reviews and strategy meetings.
- Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and value engineering efforts.
- Support project teams during handoff to ensure smooth project execution.
Thinking Beyond the Spreadsheet
- Identify potential cost-saving opportunities before construction begins.
- Evaluate market trends and material pricing fluctuations.
- Recommend innovative solutions that improve efficiency and project outcomes.
- Continuously refine estimating processes and best practices.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of estimating experience in commercial, civil, concrete, or general construction environments.
- Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and project sequencing.
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, specifications, and contract documents.
- Experience with estimating software and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Excellent analytical, mathematical, and organizational skills.
- Strong communication abilities and confidence presenting estimates.
- Detail-oriented mindset with a relentless commitment to accuracy.
The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
You notice the details others miss.
You can spot a missing line item from a mile away.
You enjoy solving complex problems and turning uncertainty into confidence.
You understand that every successful project begins long before the first shovel hits the ground, and you're proud to be one of the people who makes it happen.
You balance precision with creativity, caution with competitiveness, and speed with accuracy.
Why You'll Love It Here
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Career growth opportunities with a respected construction team
- High-profile projects throughout the Salt Lake City market
- Collaborative leadership that values your expertise
- Stable pipeline of exciting work
- A culture built on teamwork, accountability, and achievement
