A bit about us:

Our client is a specialized construction firm focused on interior build-outs, demolition, and renovation projects across commercial and industrial sectors. This company partners with a wide range of clients—from public institutions to private developers—delivering high-quality work on fast-paced, high-volume projects.

With a strong pipeline of projects and a reputation for reliability, this company plays a critical role in preconstruction planning and execution, ensuring projects are scoped, priced, and delivered with precision.

Why join us?

This company offers a dynamic environment where estimators are deeply involved in both preconstruction strategy and project success. You’ll have the opportunity to work on a diverse mix of projects, from selective interior demolition to detailed carpentry scopes, giving you exposure to a wide range of construction methods.

The team is collaborative, hands-on, and values practical field experience—meaning your background in demolition or carpentry won’t just be appreciated, it will be essential. Estimators here are trusted advisors who directly influence project wins and company growth.

If you’re looking for a role where you can sharpen your estimating skills while staying connected to real-world construction practices, this is a strong fit.
