SLC, UT???? $95,000 – $120,000
 

Somewhere between blueprint math and field poetry lives this role: Estimator who can turn chaos, plans, specs, and subcontractor whispers into clean, confident numbers that actually win work.

Welcome to the fast-moving world of construction estimating in Salt Lake City, where projects rise fast, deadlines move faster, and your spreadsheet becomes the quiet engine behind every shovel in the ground across Utah.

The Role

You’re not just “pricing work.” You’re translating ambition into numbers that hold up under pressure, bid day adrenaline, and real-world construction reality.

Think of yourself as the financial architect behind the build. Every takeoff you complete, every scope you tighten, every subcontractor number you sanity-check… it all becomes part of the story that gets projects off the ground.

???? What You’ll Do (and actually enjoy doing)

• Dive into plans like a detective with a coffee habit and a deadline
• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs that don’t miss the sneaky stuff hiding in the margins
• Build competitive, clean, and confident bids that stand up in a crowded field
• Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, and subs who all speak slightly different dialects of “urgent”
• Analyze historical costs, market trends, and material swings like a construction economist with boots on
• Identify risks before they turn into “why is this over budget?” conversations
• Help shape winning strategies, not just spreadsheets

???? What You Bring to the Table

• Experience in construction estimating (commercial, civil, or concrete backgrounds welcome)
• Comfort reading plans like they’re a second language
• Strong command of Excel and estimating software (or the curiosity to master it fast)
• A knack for spotting what others miss (hidden scope is your favorite puzzle)
• Calm energy when bid day starts humming like a live wire
• Ability to balance speed, accuracy, and a little bit of healthy competitive fire

????? Why This Role Hits Different

• Your work directly influences winning projects across Utah’s growing skyline and infrastructure boom
• You’re part strategist, part analyst, part construction whisperer
• You’ll work with a team that treats estimating like a craft, not a checkbox
• Every bid is a chance to outthink the market, not just match it

???? The Vibe

Fast-paced bid rooms. Blueprints everywhere. A screen full of numbers that somehow all need to become one clean answer. And when it clicks? You helped make the job real before a single piece of dirt moved.

If you like precision, pressure (the good kind), and the quiet thrill of knowing your number is the one that wins the work, this seat is built for you.
