READ THIS FIRST BEFORE APPLYING

Resume in English ONLY. If your resume or application is not submitted in English, it will be automatically rejected without review. This is an ONSITE role. You will be working shoulder-to-shoulder with our sales and production teams in the office. If you are looking for a remote work-from-home job, do not apply. No "Data Entry" Estimators. We want an estimator who mentally builds the job in their head before pricing it. If you just blindly plug numbers into a spreadsheet without understanding how a house is actually put together, you will fail here.

Who We Are:

EcoBuild is a fast-moving, operator-led residential construction company. We don't do corporate bureaucracy; we value accountability, clear standards, and people who turn problems into actions.

A degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, or Construction Management is preferred, but real-world estimating experience beats a piece of paper. Who You Need to Be (Character & DNA):
