Construction Estimator

Overview

We are looking to hire at least two exceptional candidates in Estimating and Cost Controls. Candidates must be driven and extraordinarily detail-oriented while still possessing the people skills required to effectively communicate with project management, subcontractors, and suppliers. If you believe you have those skills and attributes, we encourage you to apply. There is an opportunity to grow into senior leadership once you have built the confidence of the principals. We are not a large company, so the cream can rise to the top very quickly. We would also consider adding an additional Junior Estimator to assist with all take-offs if you are driven to further your career quickly.

Cost Control focuses on maintaining detailed job costing against original budgets, confirming and writing scopes of work for contracts, and collaborating with the accounting department on monthly billings. The role requires identifying budget issues and communicating them to the project management team and principals. This group is the backbone of the production team.

Responsibilities

All candidates will be responsible for estimating and taking off all trades, including architectural, structural, and mechanical. The company is often retained as a construction manager during the concept / schematic phase of projects and is therefore involved with extensive concept budgeting. Candidates will also be responsible for soliciting and qualifying subcontractors and working with the design team on value engineering alternatives.

Requirements

As the work involves both new construction and renovation projects , we are looking for candidates experienced in the planning, construction, and scheduling of new mid-rise residential buildings (rentals and condominiums), new commercial buildings (primarily high-end retail), renovation / conversion of commercial buildings (such as old industrial or mill buildings into office, retail, and residential), and tenant improvements (office and retail spaces).

• 4-year degree or equivalent in engineering or architecture
• Minimum of 1 year of estimating experience in similar work
• Knowledge of industry-standard construction means and methods
• Thorough knowledge of unit pricing
• Ability to take off all trades

About the Company
