• Analyze drawings, specs, schedules, and general conditions
• Identify value engineering opportunities and cost efficiencies
• Support pursuit strategies, negotiated work, and budget pricing
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers
• Act as a bridge between estimating and operations for smooth project transitions

What They're Looking For

• Experience in construction estimating with exposure to business development, sales, or client-facing work
• Strong understanding of construction methods and materials
• Proficiency with tools like Bluebeam, On-Screen Takeoff, or similar
• Confident communicator with a relationship-driven mindset

Why This Opportunity

• Bonus opportunities, including profit sharing
• Generous PTO
• Healthcare coverage
• Vehicle & cell phone allowances
• Fuel covered, per diem & lodging when traveling
• Family-friendly, growth-oriented culture
