Bancare has been building (literally) since 1972 - today we run two divisions covering commercial construction and bank equipment/security. We're growing our estimating team and looking for someone who wants real ownership over the numbers behind ground-up and tenant improvement projects, not just data entry into a template.

• Build accurate, competitive estimates for commercial construction projects - from drawing review through final bid
• Run quantity take-offs and pricing for labor, materials, equipment, and subs
• Solicit, compare, and level subcontractor and vendor bids
• Spot scope gaps, risks, and value-engineering opportunities before they become problems
• Sit in on pre-bid meetings, site visits, and client presentations as part of the preconstruction team
• Hand off clean, complete bid packages to Project Management
• Mentor Junior Estimators as you grow into the role

What you need

• 2+ years of commercial construction experience, including ground-up estimating, preconstruction, or related project work
• Comfortable reading construction drawings and specs

Nice to have (not required)

• Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field
• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, OpenSpace, or similar
• Exposure to design-build, CM, negotiated, or hard-bid delivery

Why Bancare

• Fast-paced team that actually collaborates - not siloed
