Estimator Intern

Build Your Career From the Ground Up

At Rice Companies, we're not looking for someone to "just shadow." We're looking for someone ready to get in the game.

As an Estimating Intern, you'll work alongside experienced estimators and project leaders to help price real projects, support bid efforts, and learn how jobs are won before they're ever built. If you're curious, detail-oriented, and not afraid to ask questions (or roll up your sleeves), this is your opportunity.

What You'll Do

• Assist in preparing cost estimates for construction projects
• Review drawings, specifications, and bid documents
• Help track and organize bid packages and deadlines
• Participate in pre-bid meetings and internal strategy discussions
• Learn how project costs, risks, and timelines come together

What You'll Learn

• How real-world construction projects are priced and won
• The fundamentals of project scopes and bid processing
• Industry tools and estimating software
• How strong communication impacts project success
• The "why" behind construction costs-not just the numbers

Why Join Us

• Hands-on experience-not just busy work
• Mentorship from experienced professionals
• Exposure to real projects and decision-making
• Opportunity to grow into a full-time role

This isn't just an internship-it's a starting point. Apply now and take the first step in building your career.
