Full Job Description

STRUCTURAL STEEL & MISC. METALS ESTIMATOR

Location: Greater Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid)
Company: DLR Contractors dba DLR Steel
Position Type: Full-Time (Open to Contract-to-Hire)

ABOUT US

DLR Contractors dba DLR Steel is a Los Angeles–based structural steel erection company focused on clean execution, schedule certainty, and strong field coordination. Our leadership team brings deep general-contractor and construction-management experience, allowing us to approach steel erection with a disciplined, risk-aware mindset. We are actively pursuing American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Erector Certification and regularly work on PLA and non-PLA projects across Southern California.

ROLE SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced Structural Steel & Miscellaneous Metals Estimator who understands erection-only scopes and can price work realistically in the Los Angeles market. This role requires a strong grasp of labor productivity, crane assumptions, piece counts, and erection sequencing, and contract compliance with the ability to flag risk early and communicate clearly with project management and field leadership.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Prepare detailed erection-only estimates for structural steel and miscellaneous metals scopes ($250K–$2M)
Perform tonnage and piece-count takeoffs from structural and architectural drawings
Develop labor, crane, and equipment assumptions aligned with LA market conditions
Evaluate schedule constraints, site logistics, access, and sequencing impacts
Coordinate scope clarity with fabricators and internal project teams
Identify and price risk (schedule compression, access, night work, PLA rules, etc.)
Support bid strategy discussions with executive leadership
Assist in developing standardized estimating templates and historical cost data
Participate in post-award handoffs and lessons-learned reviews
Attend job walks.

· Proactively identify and track public and private bid opportunities for structural steel and miscellaneous metals erection

· Regularly monitor and search relevant bid platforms (public agencies, private GC portals, and industry posting services)

· Evaluate opportunities for strategic fit, including project size, schedule, delivery method, labor requirements, and risk profile

· Recommend which opportunities should be pursued versus declined, based on scope clarity and execution risk

· Support leadership in developing a disciplined bid/no-bid process

· Maintain a pursuit log of active and upcoming opportunities

· Coordinate with executive leadership and project management on pursuit strategy and prioritization

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

10+ years estimating structural steel erection and/or miscellaneous metals
Proven experience pricing erection only (not fabrication)
Experience outweighs formal education
Strong understanding of:
Union labor and PLA environments
Crane selection and crane day assumptions
Piece-count vs tonnage productivity
Urban jobsite logistics (especially LA/SoCal)
Ability to read and interpret structural and architectural drawings independently
Proficient in Excel; experience with takeoff software a plus
Strong communication skills with field, PMs, and executives

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Prior experience with AISC-certified erectors/fabricators or certification process
LAUSD, public works, or PLA project experience
Background working directly with fabricators
Experience supporting estimating handoff through project execution

· Established professional relationships with local structural steel fabricators and/or miscellaneous metals fabricators

· Ability to leverage prior fabricator relationships to support early budget pricing, bid invitations, and scope clarity

· Prior experience working collaboratively with fabricators on erection sequencing, shipping plans, and field coordination

· Experience estimating projects where fabricator coordination is critical to schedule and cost control

· Familiarity with LA-area fabricators, union environments, and GC procurement practices is strongly preferred

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART

Direct access to executive leadership
Real influence on how projects are priced and executed
Opportunity to help build a steel erection operation the right way
Emphasis on disciplined estimating, not low-bid desperation

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary or hourly rate (commensurate with experience)
Bonus potential tied to project performance
Hybrid work environment. This person should be able to attend job walks as necessary.
Long-term growth opportunity as the company scales

Pay: $150,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Which best describes your estimating experience (years and type)? (i.e. Fabrication only, erection only, mix, general construction).
Before assuming tons-per-day productivity for a steel erection project, what key factors do you evaluate?
Have you estimated structural steel erection projects in union and/or PLA environments, preferably in Southern California? (Yes or No)
How have you typically identified projects to bid?

☐ Independently sourced opportunities through public and private bid platforms

☐ Combination of self-sourced and GC-provided opportunities

☐ Opportunities were primarily handed to me

☐ I was not involved in sourcing opportunities

Have you worked directly with structural steel or miscellaneous metals fabricators during estimating and preconstruction (not only through a GC)? (Yes or No)
