Job description

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.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an Estimator who understands structural concrete and can confidently take a project from plans to a complete and competitive estimate.

Ideal candidates will have:

• 3 to 5+ years of construction estimating experience
• Experience estimating structural concrete
• Strong blueprint and plan reading skills
• Experience with concrete quantity takeoffs
• Understanding of concrete construction means and methods
• Ability to analyze labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs
• Strong mathematical and analytical skills
• Ability to visualize construction in 2D and 3D
• Understanding of construction risk and value engineering
• Strong communication and relationship building skills
• Excellent attention to detail and organization
• Engineering or related technical degree preferred

Technology

Experience with the following is preferred:

• Bluebeam
• On Screen Takeoff
• Microsoft Excel
• Tekla

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.
