Job description

Construction Sales & Estimating Associate (Entry Level)

$60000 - $70000 per year | Dallas, TX | On-site | Permanent

Growing national contractor seeks a driven Construction Sales & Estimating Associate to join its DFW team.

A bit about us:

We are an employee-owned, nationally recognized commercial contractor and a leader in the industrial and warehouse market. We combine the resources and opportunities of a national organization with the relationships, accountability, and entrepreneurial feel of a local team.

We believe in developing our people from within and are looking for someone who wants to learn the construction business, build strong customer relationships, and grow into a long-term leadership opportunity.

Construction experience is not required, we'll teach you the industry.

Why join us?

You’ll learn the technical side of commercial construction while continuing to develop the sales, relationship, and business-development skills that can eventually position you for leadership.

We offer:

• Employee ownership through an ESOP
• Competitive base salary
• Performance-based bonus opportunity
• Medical benefits
• 401(k)
• Hands-on estimating and construction training
• Direct exposure to customers and company leadership
• Major commercial and industrial projects
• Professional development
• Long-term advancement opportunities

We're looking for someone who wants to become an expert in our business and not someone looking to make a quick career stop.

If you're successful in a competitive sales environment, enjoy working with numbers, and want to build a career where you can eventually combine technical expertise, customer relationships, business development, and leadership, we'd like to meet you.

Job Details

We're looking for a smart, competitive, relationship-driven professional who enjoys both numbers and people.

You’ll learn the technical side of commercial construction—reading drawings, performing takeoffs, building budgets, and developing proposals—while also building relationships with customers, attending networking events, following up on opportunities, and helping win new business.

What You'll Do:

• Review construction drawings, specifications, and project scopes
• Learn to perform takeoffs and develop project estimates and budgets
• Prepare pricing, bids, and customer proposals
• Build and maintain relationships with customers and general contractors
• Follow up on active bids and sales opportunities
• Attend customer meetings, industry events, and networking functions
• Track opportunities, customer activity, and pipeline through CRM
• Collaborate with project management, operations, and field teams
• Develop an understanding of commercial construction, project costs, and market pricing

What We're Looking For:

• 1–5 years of professional experience preferred
• Background in B2B sales, account management, business development, recruiting, commercial real estate, insurance, logistics, equipment rental, medical device sales, or another relationship-driven field
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Comfortable working with numbers, budgets, Excel, and detailed information
• Competitive, curious, coachable, and motivated by results
• Strong organization and follow-through
• Interest in learning construction and developing technical expertise
• Desire to grow into greater responsibility and leadership over time
• No previous construction or estimating experience is required. We're looking for someone with the horsepower, personality, and drive to learn it.
