Construction Estimator

Build the Numbers Behind Exceptional Projects

Great construction starts long before anyone breaks ground. It begins with accurate estimates, thoughtful planning, strong relationships, and a team that knows how to identify opportunities before they become obstacles.

Concord General Contracting is looking for a Construction Estimator to help turn concepts and construction documents into competitive, complete, and well-planned project budgets. In this role, you will work closely with owners, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, and our internal teams throughout the preconstruction process.

And because Concord is employee-owned, you are not simply estimating projects—you are helping shape the long-term success of a company you have a stake in.

• Develop conceptual, schematic design, design development, and construction document estimates.
• Review plans, specifications, addenda, and bid documents to identify scope requirements, risks, exclusions, and opportunities.
• Perform quantity takeoffs and prepare detailed estimates, bid‑day spreadsheets, and supporting documentation.
• Solicit, review, and reconcile subcontractor and supplier proposals.
• Lead and coordinate bid‑day activities, including proposal tracking and scope review.
• Participate in pre‑bid meetings, project site visits, client presentations, and project interviews.
• Support negotiated projects, milestone estimates, value analysis, and Guaranteed Maximum Price proposals.
• Prepare detailed scopes of work for subcontract and purchase order agreements.
• Evaluate project risk, profitability, market conditions, material pricing, labor availability, and subcontractor capacity.
• Coordinate an organized and seamless project handoff to Accounting and Operations.
• Participate in project reviews to compare estimated costs with actual performance and identify lessons learned.
• Build lasting relationships with owners, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, and industry partners.
• Help improve estimating procedures, systems, technology, and overall department efficiency.

• Three to five years of commercial construction estimating or preconstruction experience preferred.
• A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Business, or a related field is preferred; equivalent experience will also be considered.
• Experience developing estimates throughout multiple stages of design.
• Conceptual estimating experience is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of commercial construction methods, materials, building systems, sequencing, and subcontractor scopes.
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, addenda, and bid documents.
• Proficiency with Bluebeam, On‑Screen Takeoff, or similar estimating software.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills and working knowledge of Outlook and Word.
• Excellent analytical, mathematical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
• The ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team‑first mindset.
