Position Title: Metal Building Estimator

Salary Range: $80,000–$115,000 / annually, DOE + Discretionary Bonus

Bring speed, precision, and ownership to a growing preconstruction team where the quality of your estimates directly impacts the business. This Metal Building Estimator will lead detailed takeoffs and cost estimating for pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) and structural steel projects ranging from $50K to $10M, building accurate proposals that account for materials, labor, buyouts, and project-specific requirements. This is a high-volume environment where bids move quickly, and details matter. The ideal candidate has hands-on PEMB, structural steel, or metal building estimating experience and knows how to produce complete, competitive estimates independently without sacrificing accuracy for speed.

Responsibilities

• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for PEMB, structural steel, and metal building projects ranging from $50K to $10M
• Develop complete project cost estimates incorporating materials, labor, buyouts, overhead, and other project-specific costs
• Solicit, analyze and level vendor quotes to ensure third-party materials and buyout scopes are accurately captured
• Partner with sales, engineering and preconstruction teams to translate customer requirements into clear, buildable and cost-effective scopes
• Assemble professional bid packages with clearly defined pricing, inclusions, exclusions and assumptions
• Maintain accurate cost models while identifying opportunities to improve estimating efficiency, margins and overall bid accuracy
• Manage multiple bids in a fast-paced environment while targeting accurate turnaround times of approximately 2–3 days per estimate

Requirements

• 3+ years of estimating experience within pre-engineered metal buildings, structural steel buildings, or metal building systems on the manufacturing or erection side
• Proven experience estimating projects in the $200K–$600K range or higher
• Ability to independently perform full quantity takeoffs and build complete job costs covering labor, materials, buyouts, and overhead
• Demonstrated success producing accurate, competitive bids in a high-volume, fast-turn preconstruction environment
• Strong Excel skills with the ability to learn and adapt to evolving estimating, ERP, and internal tracking systems
• Highly detail-oriented, dependable, and organized with the ability to balance accuracy, speed, and changing priorities
• Construction-related degree preferred, though equivalent hands-on industry experience will be strongly considered

Benefits

• Discretionary company performance bonus typically ranging from approximately 5%–10%
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance effective the first of the month following 30 days of full-time employment
• Company-paid life insurance and a 401(k) with employer matching of 100% on the first 3% contributed and 50% on the next 2%
• 80 hours of vacation starting at hire, increasing with tenure, plus 24 hours of annual sick leave
• Flexible work options for highly qualified candidates, including potential hybrid or remote arrangements, with onsite opportunities in Pryor and Tulsa
