Concrete Estaimtor

Concrete Estimator | Structural Concrete

If you have a strong background in structural concrete estimating and want the opportunity to work on some of the Bay Area's most significant construction projects, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

You'll join a well established construction organization with a dedicated structural concrete division and a strong reputation throughout the Bay Area. With projects reaching $200M+, you'll have the opportunity to estimate complex concrete scopes while working alongside experienced Project Managers, Superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, and clients.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the numbers but also understands how concrete projects actually get built.

What You'll Do

As a Concrete Estimator, you'll be responsible for developing accurate, competitive estimates for structural concrete scopes from initial quantity takeoff through bidding and buyout.

Prepare detailed estimates for structural concrete scopes

Perform accurate quantity takeoffs for concrete, reinforcing steel, formwork, and related scopes

Analyze plans, specifications, and construction documents

Quantify material, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs

Evaluate project risks and identify opportunities to improve cost and execution

Develop competitive bids and proposals

Manage bid lists and coordinate with vendors and trade partners

Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and vendor pricing

Identify value engineering opportunities

Assist with subcontractor buyout and procurement

Review subcontractor submittals

Work closely with Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams to understand project phasing and execution

Participate in project meetings, client meetings, and jobsite reviews

Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, vendors, and subcontractors

Stay current on new construction technologies, materials, and estimating practices

The Projects

You'll have the opportunity to work on large and complex structural concrete projects throughout the Bay Area, with project values reaching up to $200M.

The work provides exposure to major commercial, civic, housing, education, hospitality, infrastructure, seismic retrofit, and other complex construction projects.

Because the concrete division works closely with the general contracting operation as well as other Bay Area contractors, you'll gain exposure to a wide variety of projects and construction partners.

Why This Opportunity

This is an opportunity to specialize in one of the most technically important scopes in construction while working alongside a team that actually builds what you estimate.

You'll have visibility into the entire process, from estimating and bidding through project execution, giving you the opportunity to develop both your estimating expertise and your understanding of structural concrete operations.

You'll also have access to large, complex projects, experienced leadership, career development, continuing education, and a collaborative team environment.
