$120K-150k DOE Position Summary REFA Structures is seeking a Senior Erection Estimator with deep, practical experience in structural and miscellaneous steel erection. This is not an entry-level estimating position. We are looking for someone who understands how steel actually gets erected because they have spent a significant portion of their career close to the work. The Senior Erection Estimator will lead the development of accurate, executable erection estimates and help REFA evaluate opportunities based not simply on whether we can perform the work, but whether we can perform it safely, efficiently, predictably, and profitably . The ideal candidate brings 15+ years of steel erection and construction experience , with meaningful field experience strongly required. Prior experience as a union ironworker, foreman, superintendent, or field leader is strongly preferred . This position will work from our Tigard campus and report directly to Ryan Mobley . What You Will Own The Senior Erection Estimator will be responsible for the complete erection-estimating process from initial opportunity review through turnover to operations, including: Develop detailed labor, equipment, crane, logistics, mobilization, and erection estimates. Perform comprehensive drawing, specification, and scope reviews. Develop erection sequences and means-and-methods assumptions appropriate to the estimate. Establish realistic crew sizes, production rates, durations, and labor-hour requirements based on actual field conditions. Evaluate crane requirements, access, staging, laydown areas, trucking, site constraints, temporary works, and erection logistics. Identify safety, schedule, access, constructability, and commercial risks before bid submission . Evaluate connection complexity, field welding, bolting, decking, miscellaneous metals, temporary bracing, and related erection requirements. Conduct site visits when necessary to understand actual field conditions and validate estimating assumptions. Develop subcontractor and vendor scopes and evaluate quotations. Identify exclusions, clarifications, qualifications, and scope gaps. Participate in pre-bid meetings, scope reviews, customer discussions, and estimate reviews. Support alternative erection approaches and value-engineering opportunities. Work closely with REFA operations, superintendents, project management, safety, and preconstruction. Participate in estimate-to-operations turnover and clearly communicate the assumptions upon which the estimate was built. Review completed projects against estimate assumptions and use actual performance data to continuously improve estimating accuracy. Help develop and mentor less-experienced estimators and field leaders in erection estimating and constructability. Build and maintain historical labor/productivity data that strengthens REFA's estimating capabilities. Job site visits will be required on occasion. Excel skills, Bluebeam skills, and general computer and technology facility is required. What We Are Looking For The successful candidate should bring: 15+ years of relevant steel erection, construction, estimating, or field leadership experience. Extensive firsthand understanding of structural steel erection. Ironworker field experience strongly preferred. Foreman, General Foreman, Superintendent, or comparable field-leadership experience preferred. Demonstrated experience estimating significant structural-steel erection packages. Strong understanding of labor productivity, crew composition, erection sequencing, crane selection, rigging, access, logistics, field welding, bolting, and temporary bracing. Ability to read and interpret structural drawings, specifications, erection drawings, schedules, contracts, and bid documents. Strong understanding of constructability and the relationship between estimating assumptions and actual field execution. Working knowledge of applicable erection safety requirements and industry practices. Strong commercial judgment and ability to identify risk. Comfortable challenging assumptions and asking difficult questions before REFA commits to work. Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers, general contractors, project teams, and field leadership. Ability to operate independently while remaining highly collaborative with the broader REFA team. The Person We Want Experience matters in this role, but judgment matters more . We want someone who can look at a set of drawings and begin seeing the jobsite: where the crane sits, how the iron arrives, how it gets picked, where the crew will lose time, what the schedule assumes that reality may not support, and where risk is hiding. This person should be equally comfortable at a bid table, walking a jobsite, or talking with an ironworker superintendent. The expectation is not simply to produce estimates. It is to help REFA Structures choose better work, price risk intelligently, build executable plans, and continuously improve the connection between estimating and field performance. Success in This Role Success will be measured by estimating accuracy, profitable project performance, quality of project turnover, identification and mitigation of risk, improvement of historical production data, collaboration with operations, and the continued development of REFA's erection-estimating discipline. At REFA, an estimate isn't successful because we won the job. It is successful when the field can safely and profitably build what we estimated.
