About the Role
We are a established specialty subcontractor serving the New England commercial construction market, focused on Division 8, Division 10, Division 11 , and Division 14 .
We’re looking for a Construction Estimator with subcontractor experience who can do more than just take off plans — someone who understands how to win work, manage bid strategy, and support the sales process.
This role blends estimating + inside sales, working closely with general contractors, vendors, and internal teams to position projects competitively and convert bids into awarded work.
What You’ll Do
- Review and interpret plans, specifications, RFIs, and addenda with a strong focus on Divisions 8, 10, 11, and/or 14 scopes
- Perform takeoffs and develop accurate, competitive project estimates
- Solicit and evaluate vendor pricing to build complete project costs
- Prepare and submit proposals, budgets, and change orders
- Communicate with GCs, architects, and vendors to clarify scope and requirements
- Track bid schedules and ensure on-time, organized submissions
- Actively follow up on bids and support closing opportunities
- Identify value engineering options and positioning strategies to win projects
- Participate in internal handoff meetings to ensure a smooth transition to operations
- Continuously improve estimating processes, templates, and accuracy
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of experience with a subcontractor (preferred in Divisions 8, 10, 11, or 14)
- Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
- Strong experience with takeoffs, estimating, and bid coordination
- Comfortable in a customer-facing role (email, phone, follow-ups)
- Highly organized and able to manage multiple bids at once
- Self-starter who takes ownership of their work and pipeline
- Strong familiarity with estimating software, Excel, and/or CRM tools
Why This Role is Different
- Not just an estimating seat — you’ll help win the work
- Direct exposure to customers, vendors, and real project decision-making
- Work with a specialized, repeat-customer base in a strong niche market
Pay: $70,000.00 - $90,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Retirement plan
Work Location: Remote
