Construction Estimator and Project Manager

Benchmark Building & Construction, LLC • Full-time • Cleburne, Texas, United States • $55,000 - $70,000 / year • 1w ago

Benchmark Building & Construction is a 19-year-old construction company in Cleburne, Texas. We build residential metal buildings, commercial PEMB projects, structural steel work, and custom homes.

We are hiring one organized construction operator to own estimating, quote follow-up, and the pipeline process as we grow from $14M toward $60M. This is not an admin seat. This is a problem-owner seat.

Role

You work with the Benchmark team to move estimating work into a clear system. You help turn loose customer details, price sheets, labor inputs, material costs, and subcontractor numbers into clean estimates and clean next steps.

The right person may come from an Assistant Project Manager, Project Coordinator, Pre-Construction Coordinator, Estimating Coordinator, or Construction Coordinator role.

Compensation

Base pay: $55,000

Performance Bonus: up to $10,000

Growth path: Broader operations leadership if you prove you can own the work.

Responsibilities

Review new residential and commercial estimate requests.
Organize project details, scope gaps, costs, and follow-up dates.
Build draft estimates from Benchmark's reference files.
Protect margin before estimates go out.
Keep estimate status’ visible each Monday.
Follow up with customers and stale quote requests.
Write and improve the estimating SOP.
Own the fix when tools, files, or workflows break.

Results We Expect

Every open estimate has an owner, status, next step, and follow-up date.
Late follow-ups get cleaned up each week.
The estimating SOP gets better after each live estimate.
Within 90 days, SOP and performance is assessed.

Requirements

1+ year in construction, estimating, project coordination, or assistant PM work.
Strong organization with messy job details.
Comfort with spreadsheets, price sheets, and basic margin math.
Clear written communication.
High project ownership
Willingness to learn Benchmark's process and document work.
Able to work from Cleburne, Texas and active job context around the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

How To Apply

Apply with your resume and a short note on the hardest construction or project problem you have owned.

If your background fits, the Hiring Admin Owner sends you a short video from Hunter about the role. After you watch it, send back a 60-second video answering:

Why does this role fit you?
What hard work skill have you learned fast?
How would you organize 12 open estimates on a Monday?

No interview starts until the 60-second video is received. Strong candidates move to Hunter's technical interview, Skylar's recorded culture interview, and a paid estimating pilot before any offer.

Pay: $55,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year
