Job Description & How to Apply Below
The Senior Concrete Estimator is responsible for preparing and managing concrete-specific estimates for medium to large commercial construction projects. This role emphasizes detailed takeoffs, cost analysis, and subcontractor/supplier coordination specific to concrete scopes-including formwork, reinforcement, placement, and finishing. The Estimator also supports operations teams in procurement strategy, constructability assessments, and concrete logistics planning, especially in fast-paced, self-perform environments.
JOB SCOPE & ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

- Perform quantity takeoffs and prepare estimates for:
- Concrete foundations and slabs
- Vertical elements (walls, cores, columns)
- Elevated decks and flatwork
- Site concrete and specialty finishes
- Develop and maintain budgets for:
- Precast and cast-in-place components
- Shoring/formwork systems
- Concrete pumping and placement logistics
- Prepare cost breakdowns at Conceptual, Schematic, and GMP stages.
- Vendor/Subcontractor Procurement:
- Solicit and evaluate quotes from concrete material suppliers and reinforcing subcontractors.
- Provide feedback on scope gaps, exclusions, and buyout strategy.
- Internal Support:
- Support Project Management in aligning estimate assumptions with field execution.
- Coordinate with Field Superintendents on production rates and formwork strategies.
- Tools & Templates:

- Convert final estimates into accounting system formats (e.g., CMiC or ERP tools).
- Assist with concrete scheduling and phasing plans.
- Provide input on crane planning, pour sequencing, and formwork reuse.
- Support constructability and site access reviews during early project planning.
- Identify opportunities for value engineering specific to concrete systems (e.g., slab design alternatives, mix optimization, etc.).
Education/Training

- Field experience in concrete placement or estimating trade training is strongly preferred.
- Deep understanding of:
- Self-perform concrete practices
- Material pricing trends and supply chain logistics
