Construction Estimator

Laying the Foundation with Financial Insight

At Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, our projects are bold, fast-paced, and built to impress from multimillion-dollar waterpark expansions to full-scale resort developments. Behind every ambitious build is a solid estimate, and that's where you come in.

We're looking for a skilled Construction Estimator to be the go-to expert for cost forecasting, bid analysis, and value engineering within our development team. Reporting directly to the Senior Vice President of Development, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping every major capital project, turning early-stage concepts into financially sound plans ready to break ground.

In This Role, You'll:

  • Create accurate cost estimates for construction and renovation projects.
  • Analyze drawings to complete material and labor takeoffs.
  • Collaborate with vendors and contractors for pricing and market insights.
  • Lead RFPs, bid evaluations, and recommend awards.
  • Develop and refine budgets throughout project design phases.
  • Propose value engineering solutions that maintain brand standards.
  • Stay current on costs, labor trends, and construction practices.
  • Provide timely cost data to support executive decision-making.

This Role is for You If You:

  • Have 5+ years of construction estimating experience, preferably in large-scale hospitality, resort, or mixed-use projects.
  • Have deep knowledge of construction trades, sequencing, and pricing structures.
  • Have strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, specs, and technical documents across disciplines.
  • Are proficient in estimating software (e.g., Plan Swift, Bluebeam Revu, Sage Estimating, and Excel-based models).
  • Are highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple project timelines.
  • Have strong communication skills and executive presence able to present findings to senior leadership.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Gained familiarity with CSI divisions and uniform estimating frameworks.
  • Experience collaborating with architects, engineers, and development stakeholders.
  • Understanding of permitting timelines, long-lead items, and cost variance impacts.
  • Hospitality or entertainment construction experience is a plus.

Why Kalahari:

  • Be part of shaping the next generation of one of the country's fastest-growing resort brands.
  • Work alongside executive leaders and make a tangible impact.
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package.
  • A culture built on drive, collaboration, and doing things the right way.

This is more than just numbers it's the foundation for everything we build. If you thrive on translating vision into reality through detailed cost insight, we're ready for you.
