Senior Estimator
Advantage Point Group is seeking a full-time senior level estimator with General Contractor experience.
Put Your Estimating Expertise to Work Where Accuracy Matters More Than Winning the Bid
If you love estimating and take pride in developing thoughtful, accurate construction budgets, this is a rare opportunity to focus on what you do best.
Unlike traditional contractor estimating roles that revolve around hard bids and compressed deadlines, this position provides independent, in-house estimating services directly to project owners. Your work will help clients develop capital expenditure budgets, validate construction costs, and make informed investment decisions throughout the design process.
This is an ideal role for an experienced estimator who enjoys collaborating with owners, architects, and engineers to develop realistic construction budgets and schedules from concept through completion.
What You'll Do
Responsibilities will include producing Schematic Development, Design Development and Construction Document estimates for a wide range of project types and sizes. Project types include office, manufacturing, warehouse, laboratory, cleanrooms, renovations, remodels and new construction. Project values range from $100,000 to $100 million.
