Senior Estimator

Help Build the Next $100M Commercial Contractor

Most Estimator opportunities are about replacing someone.

This one is about helping build something bigger.

A highly respected Commercial General Contractor in Northwest Ohio is looking to add a Senior Estimator to their team following the retirement of a long-tenured employee. Ownership believes the right person can play a direct role in helping the company grow from approximately $50M to $100M over the next 5-10 years.

If you've ever wanted a seat at the table instead of just another estimating role, keep reading.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

💰 No cap on compensation – ownership is focused on value, not salary bands

💰 Bonus program

💰 Excellent benefits package

🏠 All local projects – home every night

📈 Opportunity to help drive the company's next phase of growth

🏗️ Projects up to $10M

🤝 Direct access to ownership and decision-makers

🚀 The ability to make a visible impact on the future of the business

The Company

This contractor has spent more than 30 years building a reputation for quality, repeat business, and taking care of both employees and clients.

What really separates them from many competitors is their self-perform capability. They control much of their own work, allowing them to maintain higher quality standards, tighter schedules, and stronger relationships with clients. The result is a loyal customer base, consistent backlog, and a company positioned for significant growth.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead preconstruction and estimating efforts on commercial projects up to $10M
• Develop budgets, conceptual estimates, and hard bids
• Review plans, specifications, and project documents
• Manage subcontractor and supplier relationships
• Identify value engineering opportunities
• Assist ownership in planning future growth initiatives
• Help position the company for the next decade of expansion

What They're Looking For

• Commercial construction estimating experience
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods
• Ability to build relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and clients
• Someone who enjoys being part of the bigger picture, not just producing estimates
• A professional who wants to help grow a company and be rewarded for doing so

The Bottom Line

This isn't a company looking for someone to simply replace a retiree and maintain the status quo.

They're looking for a high-level Estimator who wants to make an impact, influence the future direction of a company, and help double revenue over the next decade.

If you're the right person, they're prepared to pay for it.
