  very comfortable using computers and learning new software
• Can read construction plans or is capable of learning quickly
• Is organized and detail-oriented
• Communicates well with customers, contractors, suppliers, and employees
• Can manage multiple projects and deadlines
• Takes ownership of their work instead of waiting to be told every next step
• Wants to learn commercial estimating and the fencing industry
• Is interested in growing with a locally owned construction company

Compensation:
Starting around$30/hour
, depending on experience, plus
health insurance
. There is room for increased compensation as the employee develops estimating and project-management skills and takes on more responsibility.

Schedule:Full-time, year-round position.

estimating and project management
without needing years of previous estimating experience.
