Uprite Construction is growing our Southwest presence and looking to bring on a Senior Estimator in Irvine. This person will play a key role in preconstruction, helping us pursue and win complex ground up projects with a strong focus on industrial and large scale commercial work.

We are looking for someone who understands how to price work that actually gets built. Someone who can see a set of plans, understand the risks, and build a real strategy around it. This is a high visibility role with direct impact on the work we take on and how we grow in the region.

• Build detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing models from conceptual through GMP stages
• Manage subcontractor outreach, leveling, and bid analysis
• Work closely with operations, project management, and leadership to align on strategy and execution
• Identify risks, gaps, and opportunities early in the preconstruction phase
• Participate in client presentations and help position Uprite as a trusted builder

• 7 plus years of estimating experience with a commercial general contractor
• Strong experience with ground up construction, especially industrial projects such as tilt up warehouses, distribution centers, or large scale concrete structures
• Proven ability to lead estimates independently from early concept through final pricing
• Deep understanding of construction means and methods, especially related to structural systems and site work
• Strong relationships with subcontractors in the Southern California market is a plus
• Comfortable working in a fast moving environment with a high level of ownership
