About The Position

At our client, Chief Estimators are not a back-office function. It is a critical position within the company responsible for accuracy, critical thinking and the ability to be a leader. You’ll be influencing which projects they pursue — and why, driving innovation to the benefit of clients through various collaborative delivery methods (DB, PDB & CM/GC), shaping long-term development by tracking opportunities, market trends & mentoring your team, and partnering directly with Clients, Designers, Trade Partners, Operations and Executive Leadership. Our client’s Preconstruction teams work on highly complex projects across multiple market segments in the West. That means exposure to a mix of Public and Private infrastructure work, Design-Build (DB), Progressive Design-Build(PDB), CM/GC and Traditional Bid-Build Projects, contracts ranging from $10M to $1B+, and a collaborative culture where preconstruction and field operations truly work as one team. The Chief Estimator plays a critical role in helping lead estimating function and serves as a key advisor to executive leadership on market strategy, pursuit selection, and long-term business growth.
