Job Description

Senior Estimator - Commercial Construction

If you’re an experienced Estimator who knows how to price work accurately, manage risk, and help win projects, this could be a strong next move.

A Beloit/Rockford area commercial general contractor with decades of success and a strong pipeline of work is looking to add a Senior Estimator to play a key role in preconstruction and growth. Projects span across several different market sectors. 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Long-standing company with strong reputation and stability
  • Diverse project portfolio with consistent backlog
  • Self-perform capabilities that create a competitive edge
  • Leadership that values experience and practical decision-making
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and long-term opportunity

What You’ll Do

  • Lead conceptual, negotiated, and hard-bid estimates
  • Review plans/specs and identify scope gaps or risks
  • Manage subcontractor bids, leveling, and buyout recommendations
  • Prepare budgets, GMPs, and value engineering options
  • Partner with operations for successful project handoff

What They’re Looking For

  • Estimating experience with a commercial general contractor
  • Ground-up and renovation project experience
  • Strong pricing instincts, organization, and communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple pursuits with accuracy

Bottom Line

This is a chance to join a respected builder where estimating has a real seat at the table and your work directly impacts growth.
