Full Job Description

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ

This is an in-house, full-time estimating and procurement role for an experienced construction estimator. This position is not entry-level. If you have never built quotes for high-ticket construction projects or managed material ordering and supplier relationships, this is not the right fit.

About Modern Yardz

Modern Yardz is a high-end design + build landscape construction company specializing in custom outdoor living spaces. Our projects commonly include pavers/hardscape, turf, outdoor lighting, drainage, planting, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and full backyard transformations.

We are hiring an In-House Estimator to be the backbone of our production pipeline. Our sales team meets with clients and captures all measurements and scope, then hands off to our internal design team. Once a job reaches the design stage, you prepare the quote and hand it back to the sales team to present and close. This is a behind-the-scenes role — you won't interact with clients directly. Once a job is sold, you become our in-house purchaser — placing orders, managing supplier relationships, and keeping material and delivery costs under control.

What You'll Do

Estimating

Take completed designs and measurements and turn them into accurate, professional quotes
Build scope, material takeoffs, and pricing with strong margin awareness
Hand finished quotes back to the sales team and turn around revisions quickly to support the close
Keep estimating templates, cost groups, and catalog pricing current and accurate
This is an internal role — no client-facing meetings or selling

Purchasing

Place and track material orders on all sold jobs
Build and maintain relationships with suppliers (turf, hardscape, aggregate, irrigation, lighting, etc.)
Negotiate pricing and identify what we can buy in bulk to lower per-job cost
Monitor and minimize delivery expenses and coordinate delivery timing with the production schedule
Maintain detailed records of orders, costs, and vendor terms in our systems
Flag cost overruns or pricing changes early and partner with ops on solutions

Who This Role Is For

You'll do well here if you have experience in:

Construction estimating (landscape/hardscape strongly preferred)
Reading construction plans, designs, and measurements
Material takeoffs, scope building, and job costing
Purchasing, procurement, and vendor negotiation
Working at a high volume without sacrificing accuracy

Who This Role Is NOT For

Please do not apply if:

You are new to estimating or new to construction
You've never built quotes or managed ordering for high-ticket projects
You are uncomfortable owning accuracy, deadlines, and cost control

Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

3+ years of construction estimating experience (landscape/hardscape preferred)
Strong material takeoff, scope-building, and job-costing skills
Purchasing / procurement and vendor negotiation experience
Highly organized, accurate, and able to manage many active jobs at once
Comfortable using Google Workspace (Docs/Drive/Calendar) and learning new software/CRM
Must live in San Diego and have reliable transportation

Preferred (Nice to Have)

Pavers/hardscape, turf, drainage, lighting, irrigation product knowledge
Experience with estimating or construction management software
Existing supplier relationships in the San Diego market
VIP 3D / Structure Studios/ Sketch Up familiarity

Compensation & Benefits

Health / Dental / Vision insurance
Paid time off
401(k)
Cell phone reimbursement
Mileage reimbursement
Professional development assistance
Advancement opportunities

Schedule: Monday to Friday

Job Type: Full-time

Work Location: In person (San Diego, CA)
