What to Expect

This is a high-volume estimating role with continuous bidding activity. Candidates should be ready for a steady flow of project opportunities and deadlines. You will not be required to attend pre-bid meetings, job site visits, or engage in client-facing work, as these functions are generally handled by other team members.

The environment is supportive and collaborative, with leadership that encourages independence while remaining available for guidance. This is a great opportunity for estimators looking for a long-term position with a stable and growing company.
