Job Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute estimating strategies aligned with company goals and project timelines.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors to ensure reliability and quality of workmanship as well as timely, competitive pricing.
  • Manage the estimating team, setting goals and KPIs to ensure high performance and accountability.
  • Collaborate with account executives, project managers, estimators, and field teams to set scopes that best align with our competitive advantages, maximize our win potential, and minimize risk exposure to the company.
  • Provide supporting bid documentation such as site maps, photos, spreadsheets, and computations.
  • Develop and manage all division costing for in-house labor, equipment and materials including supplemental proprietary information.
  • Collaborate with management to develop and conduct recurrent training courses for Sales and Project Management teams.
  • Monitor market trends, pricing, and inventory levels to identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Implement estimating systems and tools to improve tracking, reporting, and workflow efficiency.
  • Be able to work with different personalities, appreciate differing viewpoints and accept constructive feedback.
  • Occasionally, you will be on-site before, during or after our projects to help support the project managers and sales team.
  • Develop and provide regular reports to executive leadership.
  • Other Duties as assigned.

What you'll bring to us

  • 3-5 years of procurement experience, preferably in construction, paving, or heavy civil industries.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in a leadership or director-level role.
  • Strong knowledge of blueprints, construction materials, vendors, and industry regulations and standards.
  • Excellent written & oral communication and negotiating skills.
  • Ability to cultivate and maintain positive working relationships with vendors and subcontractors.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities coupled with strict attention to detail.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high pressure, deadline-driven environment while navigating competing priorities.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Compensation : Along with a competitive salary, we offer comprehensive benefits, including health insurance (PPO or HSA), 401(k) matching, and paid time off.
  • Opportunities for Advancement : We believe in promoting from within. If you're looking for long-term career opportunities, we provide clear paths for advancement based on your skills, performance, and ambitions.
  • Team-Oriented Culture : We believe in collaboration. You'll work alongside a team of skilled professionals who are passionate about their work and committed to delivering the highest standards to our clients.
  • Early Dismissal EVERY Friday : Because we value work-life balance, we wrap up early every Friday so you can get a head start on your weekend.
  • Exciting Projects & Impactful Work : Be part of a company where your contributions make a real difference. We take on meaningful projects that challenge and inspire our team.
  • Professional Development : We invest in your growth with training programs, mentorship opportunities, and resources to help you build your skills and career.
  • A Fun & Supportive Environment : From team outings and company events to a positive day-to-day work atmosphere, we foster a workplace where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
