Estimator - Commercial Construction in Chicago

Date Posted: 22 July 2026

Job Snapshot

Job Description

Some companies hire Estimators.

Others build future leaders.

I am represent a general contractor with a financially strong, rapidly growing commercial general contractor that's looking for an Estimator who wants more than producing accurate numbers. This is an opportunity to become part of a company that's building something special from the ground up.

The leadership team is hands-on, decisive, and deeply invested in the company's future. They're investing in their people, technology, and AI while maintaining the financial strength and project pipeline to support long-term growth.

This is the type of company where your career can grow as fast as your ambition!

What You'll Do

  • Prepare accurate estimates for ground-up commercial construction projects.
  • Work closely with operations, preconstruction, and leadership to help win and deliver successful projects.
  • Influence decisions that impact project success—not just pricing.
  • Help improve estimating processes and build systems that support future growth.
  • Play a key role in shaping the direction of a company that's expanding rapidly.

What We're Looking For

  • Commercial construction estimating experience with a general contractor.
  • Experience estimating ground-up commercial projects.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and thinking beyond today's project.
  • A professional who wants to grow into greater responsibility as the company continues to expand.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Financially strong and well-capitalized company
  • Consistent pipeline of ground-up commercial projects
  • Hands-on ownership that values ideas and initiative
  • Investment in technology to stay ahead of the industry
  • Significant opportunity for professional growth and advancement
  • A culture built around accountability, collaboration, and excellence

This isn't a role for someone looking to maintain the status quo. It's for someone who wants to help build a company, influence its future, and create a career they're proud of.

If you're motivated by growth, ownership, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact, you are encouraged to apply today!
