Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Join a growing specialty construction team where your estimating expertise directly influences successful projects from bid through completion.
  • Work beyond the desk by collaborating closely with experienced field crews and gaining firsthand insight into manpower, access, sequencing, and project execution.
  • Build expertise across rigging, structural steel, machinery installation, miscellaneous metals, and complex construction scopes.
  • Grow into broader estimating and project management responsibilities as the company continues to expand.
  • Enjoy full benefits, paid time off, a 401(k), and a team environment built around accountability, quality work, and long-term growth.

Location:

This is an on-site opportunity in Alameda, CA, offering close collaboration with our estimating, operations, and field teams. Candidates must already be local to the Bay Area, as relocation assistance is not available.

Note:

Candidates must have experience with both rigging and steel work. We are looking for someone who understands how this work comes together in the field and can apply that knowledge to accurate, practical estimating.

About Us

We are an established specialty construction contractor delivering complex rigging, steel, machinery installation, and metals projects with a strong focus on safety, quality, accountability, and dependable execution. Our team combines hands-on field knowledge with experienced project leadership, creating an environment where talented professionals can make a visible impact and continue growing. Confidential Employer.

Job Description

  • Review construction plans, specifications, drawings, and bid opportunities to determine project scope and requirements.
  • Develop detailed estimates covering labor, materials, equipment, rigging requirements, scheduling, and other project costs.
  • Prepare competitive proposals and obtain pricing from vendors and subcontractors.
  • Partner closely with field crews to evaluate manpower requirements, site access, sequencing, constructability, and execution strategies.
  • Support procurement, cost tracking, project administration, and coordination after projects are awarded.
  • Apply practical field knowledge to improve estimating accuracy and identify project risks before work begins.
  • Help transition awarded work from estimating into successful field execution.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of construction estimating experience preferred.
  • Direct experience with rigging and steel work is required.
  • Experience with steel erection, structural steel, machinery installation, miscellaneous metals, or related specialty construction is highly valued.
  • Strong ability to read plans, specifications, drawings, and bid documents.
  • Experience developing labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor estimates.
  • Comfortable collaborating directly with field crews, vendors, subcontractors, and project teams.
  • Local to the Alameda/Bay Area and able to work on-site.

Why You Will Love Working Here

You will join a practical, hardworking team where estimators stay connected to the field and see how their work translates into real projects. We value people who take ownership, communicate well, and want to keep expanding their construction knowledge. This role offers meaningful responsibility today and a strong opportunity to grow into larger estimating and project management responsibilities over time.
