Descripción del empleo

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Estimator specializing in Commercial Dimensional Stone and Masonry. This role is focused on high-profile commercial construction projects—including exterior cladding and interior architectural finishes for major commercial buildings—rather than residential masonry or thin-veneer retail applications.

The ideal candidate brings a solid technical background in cut-to-size stone or commercial masonry, strong computer-aided takeoff skills, and a proven track record of employment stability with verifiable references.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan & Spec Analysis: Perform comprehensive takeoffs and pricing reviews from architectural and structural drawings, specifications, and addenda.
• Dimensional Stone & Masonry Takeoffs: Quantify materials for complex commercial architectural stone (granite, marble, limestone, cut-to-size stone) and commercial masonry assemblies.
• Cost Estimating & Bidding: Prepare accurate, competitive cost estimates covering labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and overhead.
• Digital Estimating Tools: Utilize industry-standard takeoff and estimating software (e.g., On-Screen Takeoff, Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel) to ensure precision and speed.
• Subcontractor & Supplier Coordination: Solicit and level pricing from stone fabricators, masonry suppliers, and specialty subcontractors.
• Value Engineering & Collaboration: Partner with project management and preconstruction teams to identify value engineering opportunities and risk mitigation strategies.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of professional estimating experience specifically within commercial dimensional stone (cut-to-size) and/or commercial masonry. (Note: Residential masonry experience does not qualify for this position).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is strongly preferred.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in digital takeoff and estimating platforms, specifically On-Screen Takeoff and Bluebeam Revu, paired with strong overall computer literacy (Microsoft Office Suite).
• Work History: Demonstrated employment stability with long tenure at previous companies and logical, verifiable reasons for career transitions.
• References: Must be able to provide strong, verifiable professional references from past employers or direct supervisors.
