Role – Estimator

Deliver timely, accurate estimating across all Desert Services lines (SWPPP, temporary fence, roll-offs, portable restrooms, street sweeping, water trucks, site cleaning). You’ll handle 25+ bids per week with clean handoff on award and proactive follow-ups with GCs and supers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Estimate at volume : Prepare lump sum, unit-rate, and T&M quotes; target 20+ per week.
  • Scope & takeoffs : Review plans / specs, photos, and site info; occasional site walks / pre-cons for larger or specialty jobs.
  • Pricing within guardrails : Use DS standard price sheet; adjust within pre-approved ranges; escalate exceptions for approval.
  • Vendor / sub coordination : Solicit pricing where needed (disposal, materials, rentals).
  • Bid packaging & follow-ups : Issue timely, accurate proposals; follow up to close.
  • Market awareness : Track labor / material trends; flag pricing updates.
  • Quality & records : Keep estimating and CRM files tidy; maintain historical data.

  • Estimates issued per month (~100)
  • Customer response times (less than 24hr)
  • On-time bid submissions (98%+)

    • Required Skills & experience

  • 3–5+ years of construction estimating (any trade / GC / sub—service-trade a plus).
  • Read plans / specs; strong math and takeoff skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Clear, direct communicator, comfortable speaking with GCs / supers.
  • Valid driver’s license, comfortable on active jobsites.
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (CM, engineering, business or similar).

    • Compensation & Benefits

  • Base : $85,000–$110,000+.
  • Bonus : performance plan tied to quotes / month and win rate / margin.
