About the Role
We’re hiring a Commercial Construction Estimator who can produce accurate, competitive, and well‑supported cost estimates that strengthen our project pipeline and profitability. You’ll be central to preconstruction—reviewing drawings, coordinating with subcontractors, and developing estimates that reflect real site conditions and market realities.
This role requires a leadership style that is proactive, energetic, and enthusiastic. You bring momentum, clarity, and commercial awareness to every interaction, and you know how to influence outcomes while building trust with clients and internal teams.
This position does not include direct reports. The estimator works independently, reporting to senior leadership, and collaborates closely with project managers, construction managers, and cross‑functional teams. The focus is technical estimating excellence—not staff oversight.
Preferred candidates live and work within the Charlotte‑metro region and understand local labor rates, material pricing, and market conditions.
Reports To: President of Construction.
