Project Estimator

Key Responsibilities

• This role is critical to our success in bidding, budgeting, and acquiring high-value commercial tenant improvement projects across multiple regions.

• Coordinate with the CEO, Project Managers, and Superintendents to align on scope and project strategy

• Understand when to price aggressively for long-term opportunity vs. protect margin

• Utilize software platforms including Procore, Bluebeam, HubSpot, and ConstructConnect for bid management and document control

• Support document organization, bid tracking, proposal development, and timelines

• Communicate clearly and persuasively with both internal stakeholders and client-side personnel

• Track awarded vs. lost bids and continuously refine estimating accuracy

• Ensure bids align with company vision, project goals, and brand standards

• Sign and comply with company NDA and Non-Compete agreements
