Descrição da oferta de emprego

Estimator | Preconstruction

If you are an Estimator who wants to do more than simply put together numbers, this is an opportunity to become a key part of the preconstruction process on some of the Bay Area’s most complex and high profile construction projects.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, Project Executives, Project Managers, and Superintendents to help shape projects before they ever reach the field.

Projects range from $5M to $200M+ and span multifamily residential, commercial, aviation, infrastructure, prefab and modular construction, seismic retrofits, historic restoration, waterfront projects, and community facilities.

This is a great opportunity for an Estimator who enjoys problem solving, building relationships, analyzing projects, and having a real influence on how a project comes together.

What You’ll Do

You will play a critical role throughout the preconstruction process, from initial bid evaluation through buyout and project handoff.

• Evaluate bid opportunities and project documents
• Prepare detailed estimates, budgets, takeoffs, and proposals
• Perform quantity takeoffs and accurately build project costs
• Visit jobsites to evaluate existing conditions
• Analyze material, labor, subcontractor, and project costs
• Develop budgets and present value engineering opportunities to owners and design teams
• Review plans, specifications, and other project documents for completeness, accuracy, and constructability
• Develop bid packages and detailed scopes for subcontractor trades
• Build and manage subcontractor bid lists
• Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor bids
• Lead pre bid meetings and coordinate with trade partners
• Participate in design development, owner, architect, and project team meetings
• Work closely with Project Executives, Project Managers, and Superintendents to develop project schedules and logistics plans
• Participate in constructability reviews and identify potential risks before construction begins
• Assist with project buyout and subcontract execution
• Present budget, schedule, and job cost updates to project stakeholders
• Help develop and mentor Assistant Project Managers and Project Engineers

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This is not a role where you are sitting behind a spreadsheet all day.

You will have direct exposure to clients, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and senior leadership and will be involved in decisions that can fundamentally impact the success of a project.

You will also work across a diverse range of project types, giving you the opportunity to expand your experience and build a highly valuable preconstruction skill set.

With projects ranging from $5M to more than $200M, there is plenty of opportunity to work on increasingly complex projects and continue growing your career.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is analytical, detail oriented, collaborative, and genuinely interested in understanding how projects come together.

You should have:

• 2 to 3+ years of estimating experience, preferably with a general contractor
• Degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related technical field preferred
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and construction documents
• Strong mathematical and analytical skills
• Ability to visualize projects in both 2D and 3D
• Understanding of construction risk and cost analysis
• Experience with budgets, scheduling, contracts, and subcontractor management

Why Join?

The culture is built around collaboration, professional development, and work life balance, with meaningful opportunities to continue learning and advance your career.

You will also have access to projects that can significantly expand your resume and give you exposure to multiple sectors of commercial construction.
