You will turn plans, measurements, specifications, material requirements, subcontractor pricing, and scopes of work into accurate, profitable estimates and professional customer proposals.

This is not a data-entry position; the successful candidate will understand residential construction and help protect project profitability from estimating through completion.

• Develop and update project budgets
• Track committed and actual costs against estimates
• Review job costing and identify potential budget problems early
• Prepare and process customer change orders
• Price change orders for labor, materials, subcontractors, overhead, and profit
• Update budgets when project scope or costs change
• Review purchase orders, bills, vendor pricing, and subcontractor expenses for accuracy
• Work closely with Project Managers and Project Coordinators to keep project financial information current
• Communicate with subcontractors and vendors to obtain pricing and clarify scopes
• Assist with value engineering and cost-saving opportunities
• Monitor project profitability throughout the project lifecycle
• Continuously improve estimating templates, pricing information, and internal processes
• Maintain accurate and organized project documentation in JobTread

Qualifications

• Previous construction estimating experience
• Experience with residential remodeling or construction strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of construction materials, labor, sequencing, and subcontractor pricing
• Experience preparing detailed estimates, proposals, budgets, and change orders
• Job-costing experience
• Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify inconsistencies
• Ability to read plans, scopes of work, specifications, and construction documents
• Experience using construction management or estimating software
• Ability to manage multiple estimates and active projects simultaneously
• Professional written and verbal English proficiency sufficient to communicate with U.S.-based team members, vendors, and subcontractors
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
• Reliable computer, internet connection, and professional remote workspace

Preferred qualifications include:

• Proficiency with JobTread
• Experience estimating high-end residential renovations
• Experience with Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Procore, Buildern, or comparable software
• Experience with QuickBooks
• Experience managing subcontractor bids and vendor pricing
• English-Spanish bilingual communication skills

Pay and Benefits

• Employment type: Full-time employee
• Competitive compensation based on experience, estimating ability, construction knowledge, location, and JobTread proficiency
• Paid time off
• Opportunity to take ownership of an essential company function
• Long-term opportunity with a growing residential remodeling company
• Schedule: Full-time with flexibility in start and end times. Regular availability during Richmark's Houston-area business hours is required for team, vendor, and project communication.
