COMPANY PROFILE
Triangle Concrete & Contracting, Inc. is a $10+ million per year, family-owned structural concrete subcontractor that has served North Carolina for more than 40 years. We have built our reputation on quality workmanship, strong relationships, and doing what we say we will do. We are seeking a Commercial Structural Concrete Estimator to play a key role in the next chapter of our company's growth. As ownership transitions from the founding generation to the second generation, we are investing in the future and looking for talented people who want to grow with us. This position works closely with ownership and future company leadership and offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the direction of the business.

We are open to candidates who have strong estimating and takeoff skills from related construction trades and are interested in learning the structural concrete business. The ideal candidate can read and interpret civil, structural, and architectural drawings, visualize construction from plans, perform accurate quantity takeoffs, and develop competitive estimates for commercial construction projects. Experience with concrete estimating, rebar estimating, quantity surveying, cost estimating, proposal development, and construction bidding is highly valued. Experience with estimating software such as On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Bluebeam, PlanHub, or similar takeoff and estimating platforms is preferred.
