This opportunity is designed for an accomplished construction estimator who brings strong hands-on estimating experience and is ready to take on broader leadership responsibilities within an established estimating department. The successful candidate will continue to estimate significant commercial construction projects while also helping the Vice President of Estimating manage department priorities, strengthen estimating practices, mentor developing estimators, and review complex bids.

Perform quantity takeoffs and develop labor, material, fabrication, erection, subcontractor, and equipment pricing. Solicit, analyze, and incorporate vendor and subcontractor quotations. Identify scope gaps, exclusions, constructability issues, project risks, and value-engineering opportunities. Independently develop estimates for complex commercial projects. Review estimates prepared by other estimators for accuracy, completeness, and appropriate risk considerations. Mentor and coach less experienced estimators, helping them strengthen technical knowledge, estimating judgment, blueprint interpretation, pricing strategy, and bid preparation. Assist the Vice President of Estimating with workload planning, bid assignments, estimate reviews, department organization, and estimating standards. Participate in final bid reviews and provide recommendations regarding pricing, project risk, competitiveness, and bid strategy. Coordinate with project management, fabrication, field operations, vendors, and leadership throughout the estimating and project-transition process. Help identify and implement opportunities to improve estimating processes, tools, accuracy, consistency, and department performance. What We're Looking For 5+ years of commercial heavy construction estimating experience, with significant additional experience preferred for senior-level consideration. Demonstrated experience estimating structural steel, miscellaneous metals, steel fabrication, or commercial projects with substantial structural steel scope. Experience gained with a structural steel fabricator, major specialty contractor, or commercial general contractor is highly desirable. Strong understanding of structural and architectural drawings, specifications, construction sequencing, fabrication requirements, and erection considerations. Demonstrated ability to independently prepare and review complex estimates. Experience mentoring, training, or coaching junior or mid-level estimators. The ability and desire to provide leadership within an estimating department while remaining actively involved in estimating projects. Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Proficiency with estimating software, Microsoft Excel, and related construction technology. Experience collaborating with project managers, fabrication operations, field personnel, suppliers, subcontractors, and senior leadership. This Opportunity May Be Particularly Attractive If You Are A Senior Estimator with a major commercial general contractor who wants to apply your estimating expertise within a structural steel and fabrication environment. An experienced structural steel estimator ready for greater influence and leadership responsibility. A Lead Estimator who enjoys mentoring and developing other estimators. An Estimating Manager who wants to remain involved in hands-on estimating while helping lead a department.
