A bit about us:

We are a well-established general contractor with decades of experience delivering multifamily and commercial construction projects across the Midwest. Our work includes both ground-up construction and complex rehabilitation projects, often serving mission-driven organizations, nonprofits, and community partners. Long-term relationships with owners, subcontractors, and design professionals are a core part of how we operate.

The company is currently entering an exciting new chapter of growth as the next generation of leadership modernizes systems, adopts new technology, and expands into new verticals while maintaining a disciplined and thoughtful approach to risk management. With a strong reputation for integrity, we continue to grow through repeat partnerships and negotiated work rather than purely bid-driven projects.

Why join us?

• Leadership succession opportunity as senior estimators retire over the next few years
• Direct exposure to preconstruction leadership and strategic planning
• Opportunity to influence adoption of new estimating technology and systems
• Strong reputation and long-standing client relationships in the market
• Stable pipeline of multifamily and commercial construction projects
• Generous Compensation & Profit Sharing:
  Competitive base salary, bonuses, and a 401K profit sharing plan that averages 10% of total gross comp — with no employee contribution required. When the company wins, everyone wins.
• Stability with Growth:
  The company is strategically expanding into new verticals — all while maintaining conservative risk management.

• Collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and preconstruction leadership to develop accurate project budgets
• Coordinate with subcontractors and vendors to gather pricing and scope clarification
• Support the overall preconstruction process from early planning through final bid submission

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field preferred
• 4+ years of experience in construction estimating or preconstruction
• Strong understanding of construction documents, building systems, and construction processes
