This position is specifically focused on exterior restoration and existing occupied structures, not ground-up vertical construction. Candidates must demonstrate experience estimating projects involving unknown conditions, engineering-driven scopes, phased construction, and occupied environments.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to lead estimating and preconstruction efforts for restoration and existing structure projects throughout the region. This is a hands‑on leadership role with full estimating ownership, not a support-only position, requiring direct collaboration with sales, operations, engineering firms, property managers, and condominium associations. The ideal candidate understands the complexities of restoration work, including evolving field conditions, occupied‑building coordination, phased construction sequencing, and engineering-driven scopes.

• Concrete Repair & Restoration
• Waterproofing Systems
• Building Envelope Systems
• Engineering-Driven Restoration Scopes

• Lead end-to-end estimating and preconstruction efforts for restoration and existing-structure projects with minimal oversight.
• Review drawings, specifications, engineering reports, investigative reports, and project scopes; perform detailed quantity take-offs.
• Prepare estimate spreadsheets, bid proposals, budgets, and detailed pricing models.
• Coordinate with manufacturer representatives, vendors, and subcontractors to secure pricing, product recommendations, and value-engineering opportunities.
• Participate in bid strategy, scope analysis, risk assessment, and project planning discussions.
• Interact directly with engineering firms, property management companies, consultants, and HOA/condominium associations.
• Support relationship development through networking, trade organizations, and industry events.
• Assist with project handoff and provide estimating support during project execution as needed.
• Evaluate project risks related to occupied environments, unknown conditions, logistics, and sequencing.

• 7+ years of estimating experience within commercial construction or specialty contracting.
• Demonstrated experience with restoration, concrete repair, waterproofing, building envelope systems, or related specialty construction scopes.
• Ability to independently manage estimates and prioritize multiple opportunities simultaneously.
• Strong collaboration skills across sales, operations, and field teams.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Word.
• Florida or Southeast market experience is strongly preferred.

• Concrete restoration estimating experience.
• Experience working in occupied building environments.
• Familiarity with engineering-driven scopes, investigative reports, and phased construction sequencing.
• Experience estimating projects with evolving or unknown field conditions.

• Have only ground-up vertical construction experience with no restoration exposure.
• Work purely in a back-office estimating capacity with limited client or engineering interaction.
• Are unwilling to travel regularly within the region.

• Opportunity to work on complex and high-profile exterior restoration projects throughout Florida.
• Collaborative and team-oriented culture focused on quality, accountability, and professional growth.
• Exposure to a wide range of specialized restoration and building envelope scopes.
• Opportunity to play a key role in protecting and restoring existing structures across the region.
