Build Relationships. Win Projects. Help Grow Something Great.
Every conversation is an opportunity to help customers confidently transform their homes by providing expert guidance, honest recommendations, and a clear path from vision to reality.
McCreedy-Ruth Construction is a growing construction company focused on residential remodeling, additions, custom homes, and select commercial work. We believe great projects start long before construction begins—they start with listening to customers, building trust, and creating solutions.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys construction, understands how projects come together, and wants to play a major role in helping customers move from ideas to signed projects.
This is a high-impact position with opportunity to grow, influence company direction, and directly contribute to the success of the business.

- Visit project sites and gather information for budgeting and proposals
- Develop estimates and project budgets
- Present proposals and help customers move confidently into construction
- Build strong relationships and create a great customer experience
- Work closely with ownership and project teams during preconstruction
- Maintain and manage sales opportunities from first meeting to signed contract
- Help improve estimating processes and contribute ideas as the company grows
- You’ll serve as a trusted advisor throughout the preconstruction process, helping customers make informed decisions while creating a seamless and professional experience from the first conversation through the signed agreement.
Key Results
Success in this role will be measured by consistently achieving outcomes such as:
- Develop accurate, competitive estimates that support profitable projects.
- Build trust with prospective customers, resulting in a high proposal acceptance rate.
- Deliver a professional customer experience from the initial meeting through signed contract.
- Maintain an organized sales pipeline with timely follow-up and consistent communication.
- Collaborate effectively with project management and field teams to ensure smooth project handoffs.
- Identify opportunities to improve estimating accuracy, sales processes, and customer experience.
- Contribute to the company's continued growth through new sales and repeat customer relationships.
What We’re Looking For
- Someone who understands construction and enjoys working with people
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Ability to think through project scope, costs, and customer expectations
- Organized, motivated, and able to manage multiple Projects at once
- Comfortable using technology and learning estimating/project software
- Driven to create opportunities and help grow a business
What We Offer
- Competitive pay
- Paid time off and holidays
- Health insurance options
- Retirement plan opportunities
- Flexibility and autonomy to make an impact
- A smaller team environment where your work matters and your ideas are heard
Why This Role?
