The posting

Dedicated team is seeking an experienced Commercial Estimator!

WHAT WE DO

We are men and women who believe it requires investment to be great. We're dedicated to our craft because we know the quality of our effort is seen in the concrete product we create, whether others will see it or not. Although many will never see what is below their flooring, we take great pride in providing the highest quality concrete foundation that not only looks great but will withstand the test of time.

Our team always has top of the line equipment and software to ensure a smooth process. We have been serving Colorado Springs builders, general contractors, and homeowners for 27+ years and are looking forward to many more.

  • Collaborate with clients, engineers, architects, and internal stakeholders to gather necessary information and ensure accurate estimation.
  • Review historical cost data on completed projects and apply lessons learned to current estimates to improve accuracy and competitiveness.
  • Prepare thorough estimate packages including job notes, proposal documents, vendor quotes, schedules, specifications, bid assumptions, and correspondence for use by Project Management and Field Operations.
  • Participate (as needed) in the project handoff process from preconstruction to operations.
  • Maintain and update all tracking systems including bid logs and bid closeout documentation.
  • Work as a team with other estimators to monitor daily workflow; provide training, mentorship, and quality control on all estimates.
  • Coordinate estimate reviews and approvals and ensure adherence to deadlines and department goals.

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.
