The posting

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Estimator to lead estimating and bid development for commercial and industrial projects involving Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) systems. The ideal candidate brings extensive construction estimating experience, strong technical knowledge, and the ability to independently manage complex estimates from initial bid review through final proposal submission.

This role supports projects in advanced manufacturing, mission-critical facilities, and industrial construction markets. Candidates based in Knoxville or East Tennessee are preferred, though remote work or relocation may be considered for qualified applicants.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the preparation of detailed cost estimates and competitive bids for commercial and industrial IMP projects.
  • Review construction drawings, specifications, and bid packages to evaluate project scope, installation requirements, and pricing considerations.
  • Perform and validate detailed quantity takeoffs, including labor, materials, equipment, and installation costs.
  • Identify scope gaps, constructability concerns, and potential cost risks that could affect project pricing and profitability.
  • Review supplier and subcontractor quotations, verify pricing, and resolve discrepancies before finalizing estimates.
  • Develop comprehensive bid proposals with clearly defined pricing, scope inclusions, exclusions, and project assumptions.
  • Coordinate with general contractors, suppliers, and internal teams to clarify technical requirements and address bid-related questions.
  • Maintain accurate estimating records, cost databases, and bid documentation to support consistent estimating practices.
  • Review estimates for accuracy, completeness, and competitiveness before final submission.
  • Provide technical estimating guidance and pricing recommendations to support bid strategy and profitable project acquisition.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of direct construction estimating or closely related project management experience, with substantial Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) estimating experience strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to independently develop, manage, and own complex construction estimates and competitive bids.
  • Experience with advanced manufacturing, mission-critical facilities, or industrial construction projects is strongly preferred.
  • Advanced ability to read and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, technical specifications, and bid documents.
  • Extensive experience with quantity takeoffs, labor and material pricing, installation costs, and construction cost analysis.
  • Proficiency with construction estimating software, Microsoft Excel, and related cost estimation tools.
  • Strong commercial judgment and analytical skills, including the ability to identify scope gaps, evaluate cost risks, and develop accurate pricing strategies.
  • Demonstrated ownership of estimating or project costs is required. General commercial construction experience without relevant estimating responsibility or comparable specialty construction experience will not be sufficient.

Benefits

  • Salary: $90,000–$125,000 annually, depending on experience.
  • Health insurance.
  • Retirement plan options.
  • Paid time off.
  • Additional company-sponsored benefits.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
