Are you an Engineer from a construction background looking for a role where your analytical ability will have a direct and measurable impact on the projects a business wins?
This well-established and growing construction company is delivering multifamily projects across California. With an expanding pipeline and an ambitious growth plan, the business is now looking to bring a Preconstruction Engineer into its estimating function - someone who can produce fast, accurate estimates that give the business a genuine competitive edge at the point of pursuit.
In this role you will sit at the intersection of business development and project execution, producing ROM estimates for potential clients and detailed preconstruction and contract estimates to support project award. The numbers you produce will directly influence which projects the business wins, how margin is protected, and how projects are set up for success from the outset.

From kayaking on Shasta Lake to hiking in the Trinity Alps and mountain biking some of the best trails in the West, Redding is a city that rewards those who make the move.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically minded engineer to build a long-term specialism in construction estimating, within a business that is growing fast - in a location that offers far more than most.
The Role:
- Deliver rapid, accurate ROM estimates using historical cost data, project benchmarks, and unit rates
- Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from design and construction documents using the CSI framework, producing material, labour, and equipment cost estimates across all scope categories
- Identify jurisdiction-specific cost drivers and support bid levelling across subcontractor proposals
- Maintain and update the historical data library and cost catalogue to continuously improve estimate accuracy
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (any discipline) with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Highly organised and deadline-driven, with strong attention to detail and a proactive communication style
- Genuine interest in construction with a willingness to develop knowledge of multifamily construction methods and estimating workflows
- Proficient in MS Excel and project management platforms
- Well-established construction business with a strong and growing pipeline of multifamily projects
- Direct exposure to the full preconstruction and estimating process from day one
- Redding, CA - lakes, hiking, mountain biking, and some of the most spectacular scenery in the American West on your doorstep
