Commercial Estimator

WHO WE ARE

Green Future Structural Innovations is a nationally operating company specializing in structural reinforcement and concrete repair for grain silos, flour mills, feed mills, ethanol plants, and other large agricultural and industrial facilities. We are known for tackling complex structural challenges with urgency, innovation, and excellence. As we continue to grow, we are investing heavily in stronger systems, clearer accountability, and operational maturity. This role is a key part of that investment.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role is for a detail-driven, analytical Commercial Estimator who understands that estimating is not just about pricing work—it's about setting projects up for success.

The right person:

Thinks critically about scope, risk, and constructability Takes ownership of estimates from initial opportunity through final handoff Communicates clearly with operations, leadership, and clients Balances speed with accuracy in a fast-moving environment You should be confident working within Buildertrend or other Construction Management Software for estimating, proposals, and project setup and interested in helping improve how it's used across the company. Before applying, the following statements should resonate deeply with you: I take responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of my estimates. I dig into drawings, site conditions, and scope rather than making assumptions. I understand that a strong estimate protects both the company and the field team. I communicate risks, exclusions, and assumptions clearly—up front. I'm organized, methodical, and disciplined, even under deadlines. When I submit an estimate, leadership can trust it.
