A bit about us:

We are a well‑established Chicagoland General Contractor delivering a mix of ground‑up and complex renovation projects across commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and mixed‑use markets.

Early involvement: Influence budgets, means & methods, and project strategy
Strong subcontractor relationships: No last‑minute scrambling
Operational alignment: Work closely with PMs and field leadership
Stable backlog: Consistent pipeline and repeat clients
Competitive compensation: Market salary, bonuses, and full benefits

  • 5+ years of estimating experience with a General Contractor
  • Experience with commercial construction (ground‑up and/or renovation)
  • Strong understanding of scopes, assemblies, and subcontractor trades
  • Ability to prepare conceptual, schematic, and GMP estimates
