Senior Estimator
???? Colorado / Nebraska
???? $150k+ (Based on Experience & Expertise)
Are you the kind of estimator who sees numbers as more than numbers—who understands that each bid is the foundation of a project’s success? Do you pride yourself on precision, strategy, and the ability to dissect a set of drawings until there are no hidden surprises left behind? If so, this may be the exact role where your attention to detail, sharp instincts, and relentless standards will shine.
We are seeking a Senior Estimator who thrives on accuracy, thrives on building trust through disciplined preparation, and thrives on creating a competitive edge in every pursuit. This role is not for the faint of heart—it is for someone who will double-check, challenge assumptions, and question gaps until the estimate is bulletproof.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead the full-cycle estimating process for large-scale construction projects, from initial concept and schematic budgets to final detailed bids.
-
Analyze blueprints, specifications, and proposals with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring no scope gaps, hidden risks, or overlooked opportunities.
-
Develop highly accurate cost models, budgets, and competitive bid packages that win work while protecting profitability.
-
Work hand-in-hand with project managers, superintendents, engineers, and subcontractors to confirm quantities, clarify scopes, and validate pricing.
-
Proactively seek out value-engineering opportunities without compromising quality or client expectations.
-
Negotiate with trade partners and vendors to secure the most competitive pricing while maintaining strong, respectful relationships.
-
Stay current with regional labor rates, material costs, market conditions, and construction trends across Colorado and Nebraska.
-
Mentor and review the work of junior estimators, setting a high standard of accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness.
-
Identify risks, prepare contingency strategies, and communicate confidently with executives and clients.
What We’re Looking For
-
10+ years of proven estimating experience in commercial, industrial, or large-scale construction.
-
Deep knowledge of CSI divisions, unit pricing, and cost-tracking systems.
-
Exceptional ability to read, interpret, and analyze complex drawings, specs, and contracts.
-
A perfectionist’s eye for detail—someone who catches what others miss.
-
Strong math, analytical, and problem-solving skills paired with the ability to communicate findings clearly and persuasively.
-
Tech-savvy with estimating software (such as Sage Estimating, On-Screen Takeoff, ProEst, or similar), and comfortable leveraging digital tools to streamline accuracy.
-
A confident, composed, and persuasive communicator—capable of leading conversations with clients, trade partners, and executives alike.
-
Integrity, accountability, and the ability to balance competitiveness with fairness in every estimate.
