Join a focused estimating team where your expertise drives accurate, defensible estimates from day one. Leverage our extensive historical data and self-perform trade knowledge to deliver impactful results without juggling unrelated responsibilities.

As an Estimator, you’ll deliver precise estimating services for conceptual and hard bid projects across diverse contract types, specializing in complex commercial and institutional construction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review proposal specifications, drawings, and attend pre-bid meetings to define project scope and estimate requirements.
  • Develop conceptual, self-perform, hard bid, and GMP estimates for complex projects.
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and man-hour-based estimates using historical data from purchase orders, subcontracts, and productivity analysis.
  • Provide risk analysis, constructability reviews, and value engineering support during preconstruction.
  • Collaborate with operations teams on bid evaluations and subcontractor selection.
  • Maintain thorough documentation to support all estimate figures.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of estimating experience on commercial / institutional projects up to $150M.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred (or equivalent technical training / experience).
  • Expertise in self-perform work and at-risk GC / CM delivery methods.
  • Proven experience in sectors like healthcare, life sciences, higher education, food & beverage manufacturing, data centers, or similar complex facilities.
  • Proficiency in estimating software, cost control systems, and engineering disciplines.
  • Ability to independently manage complex proposals with precision and attention to detail.
  • Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with preconstruction teams, project teams, architects, and subcontractors.
  • Candidates with 5-7 years of strong estimating experience and a drive to tackle complex projects are encouraged to apply—we value potential and problem-solving skills.
