Estimator / Project Manager

Numbers meet boots-on-the-ground execution.

If spreadsheets and job sites had a love child, this would be it.

We’re looking for an Estimator / Project Manager who can toggle seamlessly between precision pricing and real-world project delivery. Someone who can sharpen a pencil on a takeoff in the morning and solve a field curveball by the afternoon. This role is perfect for a builder who enjoys both the chess game of estimating and the adrenaline of running a project.


What You’ll Do

Estimating (The Art of Getting It Right Before It Starts)

  • Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates from plans, specs, and sometimes… vibes (but mostly plans)
  • Perform quantity takeoffs and scope analysis with surgical precision
  • Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and vendor bids
  • Identify risks, gaps, and opportunities before they become expensive lessons
  • Collaborate with leadership to develop competitive, strategic proposals

Project Management (Where Plans Meet Reality)

  • Take awarded projects from kickoff to closeout like a seasoned conductor
  • Manage budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and client expectations
  • Keep projects on track, on budget, and drama-free (or at least drama-managed)
  • Lead communication between clients, field teams, and vendors
  • Handle change orders, RFIs, and all the plot twists construction throws your way

What You Bring

  • 2–5+ years of estimating, project management, or hybrid experience
  • Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and sequencing
  • Ability to read plans like a map and spot what others miss
  • Comfortable with estimating software and project management tools
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and just the right amount of relentless
  • Strong communication skills—you can talk numbers and people

Why This Role Rocks

  • ???? Commission structure — your wins actually pay you back
  • ???? Variety — no two days look the same
  • ???? Growth potential — expand into senior PM, preconstruction, or leadership
  • ???? Tight-knit team — less red tape, more impact
  • ????? Salt Lake City base — build projects in one of the fastest-growing markets out there

The Ideal Fit

You’re someone who:

  • Likes control but thrives in controlled chaos
  • Can zoom in on decimals and zoom out to big-picture strategy
  • Takes pride in both a clean estimate and a clean job closeout
  • Doesn’t just build projects—you build trust, relationships, and a reputation

If you’ve been stuck choosing between estimating or project management… this is your sign to stop choosing and start owning both sides of the game.
