Job Description

Job Description Job Description Job Description If you're an experienced commercial construction estimator who's looking for more than simply preparing estimates, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. We're partnering with a highly respected commercial general contractor that has retained our services to help them identify an experienced Senior Commercial Construction Estimator . For more than 40 years, they've built an outstanding reputation throughout Nebraska for quality construction, long-term client relationships, and doing things the right way. As the company continues to grow, they're investing in the future of their estimating and preconstruction department. Rather than simply filling an opening, they're looking for someone who wants to bring fresh ideas, improve processes, and play an important role in helping shape the future of the department. If you've ever felt like your ideas weren't being heard or that you've outgrown your current role, I think you'll find this opportunity worth exploring. What You'll Be Doing You'll play an important role in the company's preconstruction efforts by: Preparing detailed estimates for a wide variety of commercial construction projects. Performing quantity takeoffs, subcontractor coordination, bid reviews, and cost analysis. Working closely with operations, project management, finance, and business development throughout the preconstruction process. Visiting project sites to better understand scope, constructability, and project requirements. Identifying opportunities to improve estimating processes, technology, and overall efficiency. Helping ensure smooth transitions from estimating through project execution. Becoming a trusted resource to leadership on estimating strategy and project planning. The Person We're Hoping to Find We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems just as much as preparing estimates. Ideally, you'll have: 5+ years of commercial construction estimating experience with a General Contractor. Strong knowledge of commercial construction methods and estimating best practices. Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, well-thought-out estimates. Strong communication and organizational skills. A continuous improvement mindset with the confidence to share ideas and challenge existing processes. Project management experience is helpful but not required. Experience with estimating software and digital construction tools. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants to continue learning, growing, and making a meaningful contribution beyond preparing estimates. Why This Opportunity Is Different This isn't simply another estimating position. You'll have the opportunity to: Help shape the future of the estimating department. Introduce new ideas, technology, and process improvements. Work directly with a leadership team that genuinely values your input and invests in developing its people. Enjoy the autonomy to make a meaningful impact instead of simply following established processes. Build a long-term career with a growing commercial contractor that's committed to continuous improvement. Compensation & Benefits Base salary of approximately $100,000-$125,000 , depending on experience. Annual performance bonus. Company-provided SUV, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Private office. Expense account. Comprehensive medical and dental benefits. 401(k) with company match. Continuing education reimbursement. Professional training and development support. Relocation assistance available for the right candidate. Location Lincoln, Nebraska 100% on-site Monday through Friday Typical hours: 7:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. If you're happy where you are but open to hearing about the right opportunity, I'd welcome the opportunity to tell you more.
