Senior Estimator – Build What's Next with Birch Construction

At Birch Construction, we don't just estimate projects, we use preconstruction to shape them from the ground up. We're looking for a Senior Estimator who's ready to lead, mentor, and make a lasting impact on our growing Preconstruction team.

This is more than a job. It's a chance to influence how projects come to life, guide younger talent, and collaborate with Owners, Architects, Engineers, and internal teams to turn ideas into reality. If you thrive in conceptual estimating, enjoy steering strategy from early design through construction, and want to be part of a company that values your voice and vision, Birch is ready for you.

What You'll Do :

Lead with Insight : Own the estimating process from concept to construction, shaping budgets that set projects up for success.

Collaborate Across Teams : Partner with internal and external stakeholders to clarify scope, resolve ambiguities, and align expectations.

Mentor Future Talent : Guide and develop junior estimators, sharing your expertise and helping build a strong, scalable team.

Analyze and Strategize : Evaluate project risks and develop cost-effective mitigation strategies.

Scope and Bid Management : Interpret design documents, make smart assumptions in early phases, and build targeted bid lists.

Drive Results : Manage multiple preconstruction efforts with confidence, delivering timely and accurate proposals.

What You Bring :

5+ years of experience in estimating or preconstruction within commercial construction

Strong conceptual estimating skills and ability to work across design phases

Proficiency in interpreting drawings, specs, and geotechnical reports

Deep understanding of unit and material costs across trades

Experience mentoring junior team members

Familiarity with digital takeoff tools; Destini Estimator experience is a plus
