Senior Estimator

South San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | 10+ Years in the Construction Industry

At Dome Construction , we pride ourselves on doing more than building spaces-we build trust, innovation, and long-term partnerships. We're currently looking for an experienced, sharp, and strategic Senior Estimator to join our Preconstruction team. This is a key role for someone who brings depth, leadership, and insight to the table-and who's excited to help shape the way we win work.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Estimator, you'll play a vital role during the design and pursuit phases of our most exciting and complex projects-often valued at $25M to $100M+ . You'll lead multiple estimates simultaneously, provide guidance to junior team members, and collaborate with clients, architects, engineers, and trade partners. You'll also help shape strategy, manage risk, and ensure every pursuit we engage in is set up for success.

You'll be responsible for :

  • Leading estimating efforts across multiple pursuits at once-with minimal oversight
  • Assembling and presenting conceptual and detailed estimates across different markets and project types
  • Strategically developing proposals, including client-facing estimate presentations and value engineering options
  • Mentoring and coaching Estimators and Junior Estimators across their technical and strategic growth
  • Performing in-depth drawing / spec reviews, identifying scope gaps, and leading bid day strategy
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with trade partners and clients alike
  • Supporting procurement planning, pre-bid schedules, and preconstruction strategy
  • Being the go-to for unit costs, scope understanding, bid forms, and estimate reviews
  • Providing feedback on market conditions, escalation, material lead times, and construction trends

What We're Looking For

You're someone who not only knows estimating inside and out-but can teach it, lead it, and improve how others approach it. You have a strong reputation in the industry and deep relationships with trade partners and clients. You're comfortable being both strategic and tactical, and you care about mentoring the next generation of estimators.

We'd love to talk if you have :

  • 10-20+ years of experience in commercial construction, including 3-5 years in a senior estimating role
  • Experience managing estimating efforts for large, complex, multi-phase projects
  • Confidence leading multiple concurrent preconstruction efforts
  • A solid grasp of conceptual budgeting, scheduling logic, and risk analysis
  • Familiarity with MS Project, On-Screen Takeoff, and other estimating software
  • Deep knowledge of MEPF systems and how to build ground-up and tenant improvement projects
  • Strong communication and presentation skills with both internal teams and clients
  • A collaborative, coaching-oriented leadership style
  • Bonus points if you :

  • Have a strong network of trusted trade partners and A / E consultants
  • Are experienced in Design-Build, Target Value Design, or Lean construction practices
  • Have led preconstruction for Life Sciences, Healthcare, or Lab / Technical projects
  • Stay involved in industry groups or peer networks
  • Ready to Lead Preconstruction with Purpose?

    If you're a seasoned estimator looking to take your impact to the next level-in an environment that values your experience and your leadership-we want to hear from you.

    Apply now and help shape the future of construction with Dome.

    San Francisco Bay Area Pay Range $158,000 - $191,000 USD
