JOB PURPOSE

The Estimator supports and leads preconstruction and estimating efforts on complex, technically sophisticated projects across Advanced Technology, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Higher Education, and Heavy Commercial/Industrial markets. This role is responsible for developing accurate, well‑documented conceptual and detailed estimates from early design through project launch, while partnering closely with clients, designers, and internal project teams to support informed decision‑making.

This position requires demonstrated experience estimating complex projects with evolving design, high levels of technical coordination, and multiple delivery methods, including negotiated CM/GC and lump‑sum work. The Estimator brings a proven track record of successful preconstruction leadership, with the ability to translate conceptual information into reliable cost models, identify risk and opportunity, and clearly communicate assumptions, scope, and recommendations.

Strong collaboration is essential. The Estimator works closely with design teams, owners, operations, and trade partners throughout preconstruction to align scope, schedule, and budget, ensuring a smooth transition from estimate to execution. Proficiency with Destiny estimating software is required, along with a deep understanding of construction means and methods, market conditions, and trade partner strategies.

Prepares and/or coordinates preparation of full estimates on smaller projects of all types. Provides complete conceptual and final estimating on negotiated CM/GC projects or complete total bid price for lump sum GC work. Interacts with Owner, A/E’s and trade partners to provide cost data in support of design development decision making or resolving technical details during the pre‑construction estimating phase of a project.
