  • Review and level subcontractor proposals to confirm scope alignment, clarifications, and exclusions
  • Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors in the Atlanta and Southeast markets
  • Budgeting and Cost Analysis

  • Assist in preparing conceptual budgets, hard bids, and GMPs for commercial projects
  • Maintain current knowledge of labor rates, equipment pricing, and material fluctuations
  • Participate in value engineering discussions and suggest cost saving alternatives
  • Qualifications

  • Three to five years of experience in commercial construction estimating or combined field and office experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred
  • Experience estimating Healthcare, Light Industrial, or Commercial projects is strongly preferred
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Bluebeam Revu, and the ability to work within estimating software platforms
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly explain scope details and present findings
  • Self-motivated mindset with strong attention to detail and the ability to meet critical deadlines
  • Work Environment and Physical Requirements

  • Primarily office based with occasional site visits to review existing conditions
  • Ability to walk active construction sites, climb temporary stairs, and perform visual inspections
  • Ability to focus on numerical data and technical documents for prolonged periods
  • Compensation and Benefits

    Competitive salary, performance bonuses, medical, dental, vision, 401K, and a clear path to Senior Estimator or Preconstruction Manager roles. The firm offers a collaborative culture that values work life balance and team development.
