  • Develop detailed estimates covering labor, materials, equipment, rigging requirements, scheduling, and other project costs.
  • Prepare competitive proposals and obtain pricing from vendors and subcontractors.
  • Partner closely with field crews to evaluate manpower requirements, site access, sequencing, constructability, and execution strategies.
  • Support procurement, cost tracking, project administration, and coordination after projects are awarded.
  • Apply practical field knowledge to improve estimating accuracy and identify project risks before work begins.
  • Help transition awarded work from estimating into successful field execution.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of construction estimating experience preferred.
  • Direct experience with rigging and steel work is required.
  • Experience with steel erection, structural steel, machinery installation, miscellaneous metals, or related specialty construction is highly valued.
  • Strong ability to read plans, specifications, drawings, and bid documents.
  • Experience developing labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor estimates.
  • Comfortable collaborating directly with field crews, vendors, subcontractors, and project teams.
  • Local to the Alameda/Bay Area and able to work on-site.

Why You Will Love Working Here

You will join a practical, hardworking team where estimators stay connected to the field and see how their work translates into real projects.

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.
