A growing Atlanta based construction firm is seeking a detail-oriented Construction Estimator with three to five years of commercial construction experience. This role is central to the success of each project and supports both conceptual and detailed estimating for Healthcare, Industrial, Commercial, and Retail projects.

The Estimator will perform quantity takeoffs, solicit subcontractor bids, analyze proposals, and support the development of budgets, GMPs, and hard bids. This position is ideal for someone who has strong foundational estimating skills and is ready to manage larger scopes and contribute to preconstruction strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Bid Management and Quantity Takeoff

  • Perform accurate quantity takeoffs across trades using digital tools such as Bluebeam or On-Screen Takeoff
  • Review drawings, specifications, and scope documents to identify gaps, risks, and constructability concerns
  • Manage RFIs during bid phases to ensure clear information is available to subcontractors

Subcontractor Coordination

  • Lead subcontractor and vendor solicitation and maintain strong trade partner engagement
  • 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.
