About The Position

The company is hiring a dedicated, full-time remote Commercial Construction Estimator to independently manage estimating workflows, prepare accurate bids, and coordinate with subcontractors. The company is based in Indiana and is led by an owner with more than 35 years of civil construction estimating experience. The role is fully remote, with a Monday–Friday schedule aligned to US Eastern Time, and requires exclusive full-time commitment to the client. Compensation is $2,000–$3,000 per month, depending on experience and assessment. The estimator will handle commercial and civil projects, including concrete work, structural steel buildings, ground-up construction, excavation, and other civil construction. Responsibilities include detailed quantity takeoffs; estimating materials, labor, equipment, and project costs; reviewing drawings and specifications; and preparing cost breakdowns and customer bid packages. The role also involves soliciting and comparing subcontractor bids, communicating with the owner and other stakeholders, and maintaining organized bid records and project files. The successful candidate will work independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate accuracy, organization, accountability, and strong communication. The client is open to mentoring the right candidate, but expects the estimator to take ownership of end-to-end estimating responsibilities. There may be opportunities to support project management, coordination, scheduling, and project tracking.
