  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, construction specifications, and bid packages.
  • Experience managing multiple estimates and competing deadlines without extensive oversight.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to identify project risks, missing scope, and potential pricing challenges.
  • A collaborative, dependable approach to working with internal teams, customers, and leadership.
  • Ability to contribute immediately in a senior-level estimating role.

  • Direct access to company leadership and the ability to influence estimating strategy, customer relationships, and business growth.
  • A close-knit, collaborative work environment within a growing specialty construction company.
