About The Position
We are seeking a detail-oriented Commercial Construction Estimator with experience in healthcare projects, including ground-up construction and complex renovations in occupied facilities. This role leverages AI-powered estimating tools to improve accuracy, speed, and data-driven decision-making while addressing the unique regulatory, phasing, and infection control requirements of healthcare environments.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years of estimating experience in commercial construction, with a strong focus on healthcare projects
- Hands-on experience with AI estimating tools, automated takeoff platforms, or data-driven estimating systems
- Strong proficiency in Excel and estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Procore, or similar)
- In-depth understanding of healthcare construction standards, codes, and compliance requirements
- Ability to read and interpret complex construction documents with a high level of accuracy
Nice To Haves
- Experience estimating work in active healthcare facilities with detailed phasing and infection control requirements
- Familiarity with AHCA, FGI Guidelines, Joint Commission standards, and ICRA protocols
- Experience integrating AI tools into estimating workflows or developing internal estimating databases
- Knowledge of cost modeling, predictive analytics, or benchmarking systems in construction
- Experience with GMP delivery methods and negotiated work
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Responsibilities
- Prepare detailed cost estimates for healthcare construction projects across conceptual, schematic, design development, and GMP/bid phases
- Utilize AI estimating software and digital takeoff tools to enhance quantity accuracy, pricing consistency, and rapid scenario analysis
- Analyze drawings, specifications, and healthcare-specific requirements (e.g., AHCA, FGI Guidelines, ICRA) to define full project scope
- Develop estimates that account for phasing, infection control measures, interim life safety measures (ILSM), and work in occupied environments
- Solicit, evaluate, and level subcontractor bids with a focus on healthcare-experienced trade partners
- Act as a liaison between the design team and subcontractors by reviewing, clarifying, and helping resolve preconstruction and estimating-related RFI’s to ensure scope alignment and minimize gaps or overlaps along with maintaining and cataloguing all RFI’s and responses/clarifications.
- Collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and preconstruction teams to align estimates with logistics, sequencing, and patient care constraints
- Identify value engineering options that maintain compliance, patient safety, and operational continuity
- Build and maintain cost databases specific to healthcare construction, including historical data and AI-assisted cost models
- Support preparation of proposals, budgets, and client presentations for healthcare clients and stakeholders
- Track estimate performance versus actual costs to continuously refine estimating accuracy
- Assist in proposal preparation, bid submissions, and client presentations
