The posting

We are looking for a Commercial Construction Estimator to prepare accurate cost estimates and competitive bids for commercial interior projects within a specialty subcontractor environment. AlphaHire is recruiting on behalf of a client that delivers commercial construction services, including drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, flooring, and related interior scopes. This role will take direct ownership of quantity takeoffs, labor and material pricing, and bid preparation to support project acquisition and profitable growth. The ideal candidate has hands-on estimating experience in commercial interiors or Division 9 construction and can independently develop complete estimates from construction drawings and specifications.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed cost estimates and competitive bids for commercial drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceiling, flooring, and interior construction projects.
  • Perform quantity takeoffs from construction drawings, plans, and specifications to determine material, labor, and installation requirements.
  • Calculate labor costs, material quantities, equipment needs, and other project expenses to develop accurate project pricing.
  • Review bid documents, specifications, and scope requirements to identify project risks, exclusions, and potential cost impacts.
  • Solicit and evaluate material pricing and supplier quotations to support competitive and accurate estimates.
  • Develop complete bid proposals that clearly outline pricing, scope inclusions, exclusions, and applicable assumptions.
  • Communicate with general contractors, suppliers, and internal teams to clarify project requirements and resolve estimating questions.
  • Use estimating software and spreadsheets to organize takeoffs, track pricing, and maintain accurate bid documentation.
  • Review completed estimates for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with project specifications and bid deadlines.

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years of direct estimating experience in commercial construction, preferably in drywall, metal framing, acoustical ceilings, flooring, or commercial interiors.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing complete estimates and bids as a primary job responsibility.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret commercial construction drawings, blueprints, specifications, and bid documents.
  • Hands-on experience performing quantity takeoffs and calculating labor and material costs for commercial projects.
  • Familiarity with construction estimating software and Microsoft Excel or comparable estimating tools.
  • Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently on multiple estimates while meeting bid deadlines and maintaining pricing accuracy.
  • Candidates whose experience is limited to residential construction, material ordering, project coordination, or estimating support without direct estimating ownership will not be considered a match.

Benefits

Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience.Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, and other company-sponsored programs.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
