Job description

Senior Estimator - Lead the Estimating Team for a Fast Growing Commercial GC in Charlotte!

About The Company :

I'm partnered with a small to mid-sized General Contractor in Charlotte that has experienced rapid growth over the past few years — and they're not slowing down anytime soon. With plans to expand another 30%, they're now looking for a Senior Estimator to join the team and help shape the future of their preconstruction department.

This GC focuses on commercial projects including restaurants, gas stations, medical offices, and convenience stores. The culture is relaxed, friendly, and flexible — built around trust and accountability rather than micromanagement.

Why This Role Stands Out :

This isn't a "slot in and stay in your lane" type of position. You'll work directly with the partners of the business, mentor a Junior Estimator, and play a key role in shaping the company's future. As the business continues to expand, you'll have the genuine opportunity to lead the entire estimating division.

If you've been looking for a place where you can make an impact and truly build something of your own — this is it.

What You'll Be Doing :

  • Lead full-cycle estimating for commercial projects from concept through GMP
  • Prepare detailed estimates, budgets, and proposals
  • Review drawings, specs, and scopes to ensure accuracy and completeness
  • Manage subcontractor pricing, bid reviews, and value engineering
  • Partner with clients, architects, engineers, and internal teams for a smooth project handover
  • Mentor and support Junior Estimators as they develop

What We're Looking For :

  • 5+ years of experience estimating commercial ground-up construction projects
  • Strong knowledge of preconstruction, cost management, and bid strategy
  • Procore experience strongly preferred
  • Someone who enjoys collaboration but can take ownership and run with things
  • Proven leadership qualities — confident guiding others, making decisions, and being the go-to person in the department
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to build strong relationships with owners, design teams, and trade partners
  • A people person who thrives in a team-focused, friendly environment — approachable, positive, and easy to work with
  • Forward-thinking mindset with a desire to help shape and grow the company's preconstruction function

    • What's On Offer :

  • $110,000 – $155,000 base salary (DOE)
  • Generous bonus scheme
  • 4 weeks PTO + 11 holiday days
  • 401(k) plan with company match up to 4%
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company cell phone and laptop provided
  • Relaxed, flexible, and friendly culture
  • Stability of a well-established GC with the excitement of a growing business
  • Supportive environment that values ideas, autonomy, and work-life balance
