Full Job Description

We are seeking an organized and detail-driven Estimating & Project Coordinator to serve as the operational backbone of our project delivery, responsible for keeping bids accurate, subcontractors aligned, and projects moving from first takeoff to final invoice.

1. ABOUT US

RISE Construction is a national contractor built on a simple but rare belief — the best projects happen when your contractor thinks like a partner, not a vendor.

We specialize in complex projects that demand more than a standard playbook. We've converted failing restaurants into housing, brought buildings back to life that communities had written off, and saved clients serious money before a single nail was driven — because we know how to look at a property the way an owner does. That's not a metaphor. Our team has deep roots in real estate ownership, and that perspective changes everything about how we approach a project.

We're not a company that just executes. We think strategically, we get creative, and we're honest with our clients about where the real leverage is.

The people we want on this team are sharp and curious. Someone who raises the room and is allergic to mediocrity. If you own your work, solve problems nobody handed you a playbook for, and want to keep growing long after most people would call it good enough — you'll fit right in here.

2. WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

At Rise, every project moves fast and every detail matters. This role exists to make sure nothing falls through the cracks — from the first takeoff on a bid to the final invoice from a sub. You are the connective tissue between our suppliers, our subcontractors, and our internal team, and your ability to stay organized and proactive is what keeps our projects on time and on budget.

3. THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a role for someone who likes to be in the middle of the action. You'll touch nearly every project Rise takes on — doing takeoffs, coordinating subs, tracking budgets, and making sure the right materials show up at the right time. On a small team like ours, your work is visible, your impact is real, and the people around you will notice when you do it well.

What that looks like in practice:

You'll work closely with leadership and have direct influence on how projects run day-to-day
No two days look the same — you'll be juggling multiple projects across different scopes and stages
You'll build real relationships with our supplier reps and subcontractor network

4. WHAT YOU'LL DO

Estimating:

Perform quantity takeoffs from construction drawings for a variety of project types including tenant improvements, apartment renovations, and adaptive reuse work
Solicit and organize bids and quotes from subcontractors
Assist leadership in assembling complete and competitive project estimates

Project Coordination:

Serve as the primary point of contact for our supplier and material reps (Home Depot, Sherwin-Williams, NFM, and others)
Order and coordinate material deliveries for subcontractors across active projects
Manage subcontractor relationships on smaller jobs — scheduling, communication, and accountability
Track project budgets in spreadsheets and flag variances to leadership early
Organize and process subcontractor invoices, making sure nothing gets lost or duplicated
Coordinate permit applications and schedule inspections as needed
Maintain project timelines and proactively follow up to keep things moving
Occasionally visit job sites to check on progress, coordinate deliveries, or meet with subs

5. THE MINDSET REQUIRED

Detail-Oriented: You catch the things others miss and take pride in it
Proactive: You don't wait to be told what needs to happen next — you already know and you're already on it
Organized Under Pressure: When things get busy, you don't drop balls — you build systems so nothing slips
Reliable Communicator: You communicate clearly and promptly with subs, suppliers, and teammates — no one has to chase you down
Self-Sufficient: You're comfortable figuring things out without a step-by-step manual
Ownership Mentality: You treat every project like it's your own — because on this team, it basically is

6. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-Haves:

Ability to read and interpret construction drawings well enough to perform accurate material takeoffs
Strong organizational skills — you're managing multiple projects and conversations at once
Comfortable working in Excel and communicating via email daily
Ability to build and maintain relationships with subs and suppliers
A self-starter who can create structure in an environment that doesn't hand it to you

Nice-to-Haves:

Spanish language proficiency — a significant portion of our subcontractor network communicates primarily in Spanish, and the ability to work with them directly is a major advantage in this role
Prior experience in a construction office, GC, or subcontractor environment
Familiarity with construction estimating or project management software
Experience pulling permits or coordinating inspections

We care more about how you think and how you work than what your resume looks like on paper. If this role sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

7. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base Pay: $90,000 – $105,000 [dependent on experience]
Flexible Time Off: At Rise, we operate on a flexible time-off model built on mutual trust. As long as your targets are on track and your teammates and clients are supported, you have the flexibility to take time off as needed.
Paid Holidays: Rise observes seven paid holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (and the Friday after), and Christmas Day.
Growth: As Rise scales, this role scales with it — compensation and title will reflect your impact

8. HOW TO APPLY & WHAT TO EXPECT

We keep our process straightforward and respectful of your time.

To apply:

Submit your resume on Indeed

Our process:

Step 1: Resume review — we aim to respond within 3 business days
Step 2: 20-minute introductory call
Step 3: In-person interview at our office

We’re excited to meet people who are as passionate about quality work as we are—we look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together!

Pay: $90,000.00 - $105,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance
