AJ Glass is looking for a highly experienced and solution‑driven Senior Estimator to provide leadership across the estimating department. This role is designed for someone with the expertise to oversee high‑level bid reviews, troubleshoot problems in real time, and act as a trusted resource to both team members and management. If you’re confident under pressure, comfortable navigating negotiations, and capable of managing a dynamic bid calendar while mentoring others, we want to hear from you.

• Final review and approval of all estimates, budgets, and CORs—ensuring department‑wide consistency, pricing accuracy, and adherence to company standards.
• Manage a high volume of bids while maintaining precision and efficiency.
• Lead or provide input on complex negotiations by presenting complete, well‑documented proposals.
• Resolve complex bid issues, scope discrepancies, and estimation errors in collaboration with GCs and internal teams.
• Take ownership of urgent estimating needs, including quick turnaround budgets and salvaging time‑sensitive bids initiated by others.
• Maintain and adjust the bid calendar to reflect shifting priorities, resource availability, and project urgency.
• Provide strategic input with estimating decisions, including determining which opportunities to pursue.
• Analyze historical pricing to ensure current proposals are accurate, competitive, and aligned with established cost trends and margin goals.
• Support internal team members by answering questions or directing them to the appropriate resources.
• Meet hard deadlines—even if it occasionally requires extended working hours.

• 5+ years of experience in commercial construction estimating, preferably with a focus on glazing systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management is a plus, but we also highly value hands‑on experience.
• Strong command of curtain wall, storefront, thermal systems, specialty glass, and related materials.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high‑quality results under pressure.
• Skilled in bid negotiation, GC communication, and conflict resolution.
• Ability to lead through example while serving as a resource and mentor for junior team members.
• Exceptional organizational and time‑management skills—capable of maintaining and adjusting a fluid bid calendar.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Bluebeam, and familiarity with platforms such as Procore.

• Majority of the position is performed in an office setting, sitting or standing at a computer for extended periods.
• Ability to attend occasional site visits and scheduled site walks on active construction sites, which may involve walking or standing, limited ladder use, and normal working conditions.
• Occasional lifting of light materials (up to 25 pounds), such as plans or samples.

This is a full‑time, office position based in Marietta, GA.
