Job Description

Senior Estimator – Commercial Construction

Are you an experienced Estimator ready to take on a leadership role in a thriving, forward-thinking construction firm? We're partnered with a reputable general contractor known for delivering high-quality commercial projects across the region—and they’re looking for a Senior Estimator who’s eager to make an impact.

This isn’t just another estimating job. It’s a chance to step into a high-visibility position where your voice is heard, your experience is valued, and your work directly shapes the future of major projects.

💡 What You’ll Be Doing:

As the Senior Estimator, you’ll be the go-to expert during preconstruction—owning the estimating process from concept to close. Projects typically range from $5M to $50M, with the occasional challenge of pricing jobs up to $100M.

  • Lead all aspects of estimating on assigned projects

  • Break down plans, specs, and drawings into clear, accurate cost estimates

  • Partner with architects, engineers, and leadership to define scope and pricing strategies

  • Build strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers to ensure competitive bids

  • Contribute insights on value engineering and bid strategy to give your team the edge

✅ What You Bring to the Table:

  • 7–10+ years of experience as an Estimator in commercial construction

  • Strong track record estimating projects independently in the $5M–$50M range

  • Comfortable navigating large-scale bids (up to $100M a plus, not required)

  • Proficient in estimating platforms like Sage, Bluebeam, or OST

  • Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and collaborative

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Competitive salary + full benefits package

  • Team-oriented culture with excellent work-life balance

  • Strong backlog and growing pipeline of negotiated and bid work

  • Long-term career path in a stable, financially sound company
