Position Summary

Apex Site Solutions is looking for a rockstar Estimator to join our growing estimating team out of our Corona, CA office. This is not an entry-level role — we need a self-motivated, self-starter who is deadline-driven, highly organized, and ready to own the estimating process for projects across Southern California and beyond. You will be joining and working in step with a high-performing estimating team.

This person will work hand-in-hand with our Business Development team and fellow estimators, taking primary ownership of a Southern California region (not limited to SoCal) while contributing to companywide estimating capacity as needed. The ideal candidate brings prior estimating experience from the telecommunications industry or from other large-scale construction or government-contract environments, and is comfortable reading and dissecting large, multi-page RFP packages to determine project fit against Apex's service offerings.

A working knowledge of civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines is essential, along with the ability to read and interpret construction documents and communicate effectively with management, subcontractors, customers, and outside stakeholders. Travel is required, including occasional overnight stays for bid walks located outside the traditional SoCal market (e.g., NV, AZ).
