  • Assist with project scheduling and building-system decisions.
  • Research project-specific requirements, including permits, taxes, labor agreements, and other applicable considerations.
  • Lead and develop estimating personnel through coaching, mentoring, training, and performance management.
  • Promote consistent estimating practices, accountability, and high professional standards.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of construction industry experience, including at least 6 years focused on estimating.
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing estimates for large, complex construction projects.
  • Ability to interpret construction documents, plans, specifications, and contracts.
  • Experience evaluating subcontractor bids, conducting quantity takeoffs, and developing project pricing.
  • Ability to manage multiple estimates, priorities, and deadlines with a high degree of accuracy.
  • Strong communication, leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Professional, customer-focused approach with strong business judgment.
  • Working knowledge of construction law and standard business practices.
  • Proficiency with estimating and takeoff technology such as:
  • ISqFt
  • ICE/Bid2Win

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.
