This role is ideal for someone who is confident in estimating, enjoys working in a fast-moving environment, and wants to make a direct impact on winning work and improving profitability.

What We’re Looking For

3–7+ years of estimating experience in commercial construction
(underground utilities, civil, fire protection, or related trades preferred)
Strong understanding of takeoffs, pricing, and bid assembly
Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
Organized, detail-oriented, and dependable with deadlines
Strong communication skills with GCs and internal teams
Willingness to grow into a larger role over time

What We Offer

Performance bonus tied to awarded work and profitability
vehicle stipend
Laptop + estimating setup provided
Flexible / hybrid work structure (no office requirement)

Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity

This is not just a production estimating job.

You will have direct access to ownership, real influence on bidding strategy, and the opportunity to help shape how we grow. As the company expands, this role has the potential to grow into a senior leadership position.

We are looking for someone who wants more than just “doing estimates” someone who wants to help build something better, more organized, and more profitable.
