Build Something That Actually Matters

Are you an ambitious estimator ready to step into a role where your work directly shapes real projects — not just spreadsheets?

This is an opportunity to join a growing, forward‑thinking construction firm where your voice is heard, your expertise is trusted, and your career trajectory is taken seriously.

If you're looking for more ownership, more impact, and a team that genuinely values quality work — this could be the move.

About the Company

This established and fast-growing general contractor operates across design‑build, construction management, and commercial project delivery.

With a strong reputation for quality, integrity, and craftsmanship, the business has built long‑standing relationships across the ICI sector. Their success is driven by a simple philosophy:

Hire great people. Trust them. Continuously improve.

The culture is collaborative, performance‑driven, and grounded in accountability — where strong teams deliver strong results.

The Opportunity

As an Estimator, you'll play a critical role in bringing projects to life — from early‑stage budgeting through to post‑award analysis.

You'll work closely with pre‑construction, project management, and leadership teams to develop accurate, competitive, and strategic estimates across a diverse portfolio of projects.

This role offers exposure to complex work in the industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) space, with an initial focus on tenant improvements, interiors, and renovations
, while also supporting larger builds.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Develop detailed cost estimates based on drawings, specifications, and scope requirements
  • Lead and manage tendering processes, including subcontractor outreach, bid analysis, and recommendations
  • Prepare RFPs, RFQs, and full proposal submissions
  • Collaborate with internal teams to define project scope and procurement strategy
  • Conduct quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, and pricing exercises
  • Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and trade partners
  • Identify project risks and flag potential cost or scope concerns early
  • Support post‑tender negotiations and budgeting updates
  • Assist in preparing preliminary construction schedules for estimating purposes
  • Maintain and update internal cost databases and pricing benchmarks
  • Work cross‑functionally with project managers and field teams to ensure budget alignment
What You Bring
  • Minimum 5+ years of estimating experience within a General Contractor or Design‑Build environment
  • Strong experience across ICI projects
    , including tenant improvements and interior construction
  • Exposure to projects ranging from $500K - $40M+
  • Solid understanding of construction contracts (CCDC and subcontract agreements)
  • Experience with design‑build and conceptual estimating
  • Proficiency in takeoff and estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, On‑Screen Takeoff)
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office tools
  • Excellent communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment
Nice to Have:
  • PQS, Gold Seal (GSC), or CEC designation
What's In It For You
  • Full benefits package
  • Strong leadership and mentorship
  • A company that is growing — and wants you to grow with it
Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll have real influence on projects, real visibility with leadership, and real opportunity to shape how things are done.

If you’re looking to move beyond just pricing jobs — and into building a career with purpose — this is worth a conversation.
