Job Details

We are seeking a detail-oriented, driven Estimator to join our team in San Diego. In this role, you will play a critical part in shaping our project pipeline by preparing accurate cost estimates, collaborating with internal teams and external partners, and contributing to our reputation for excellence and reliability. You’ll build lasting relationships, support multi-discipline commercial projects, and help ensure our proposals match our high standards.

Responsibilities:
  • Prepare detailed quantity take-offs, cost models, and bid reviews for commercial construction projects including office, industrial, financial-institution, and biotech lab builds.
  • Collaborate closely with project leadership, operations, engineering, and subcontractors to gather complete scope, clarify design intent, and identify risk or value-engineering opportunities.
  • Manage solicitation of subcontractor bids and supplier quotes, evaluate proposals and incorporate into cost estimate.
  • Develop bid packages, addenda, cost summaries, and final proposal documents.
  • Work with the pre-construction team to schedule estimates, reviews, and delivery of proposals in accordance with our pipeline and reputation for responsiveness.
  • Ensure accuracy of cost assumptions, escalation, contingencies, and liaise with senior leadership to validate bottom-line numbers.
  • Participate in post-bid analysis, lessons-learned sessions, and continuous improvement of estimating processes, tools and relationships with owners/architects/engineers.
Qualifications & Skills:
  • 5+ years of estimating experience in commercial construction (office buildings, industrial, biotech labs, financial institutions strongly preferred).
  • Excellent proficiency in take-off software and cost estimating tools; familiarity with Bluebeam, Revit/AutoCAD plans, Excel, and construction cost databases.
  • Strong analytical and numerical skills; proven ability to develop clear cost models, risk assessments and value-engineering recommendations.
  • Experience soliciting and evaluating subcontractor/supplier quotes and integrating them into a comprehensive bid package.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction documents (drawings, specifications, addenda) and work cross-functionally with project teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to work under pressure to meet bid deadlines—strong time-management, prioritization and communication skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills—capable of building strong relationships with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors and internal stakeholders.
  • Knowledge of San Diego regional construction market, subcontractor base and commercial cost trends is a plus.
