About the Role

Our client, a leading construction firm based in Chicago, is seeking a detail‑oriented Estimator to evaluate project plans, collaborate with engineers, and produce comprehensive cost proposals. This fully remote position offers the flexibility to work from any location while contributing to high‑impact projects across residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors.

• Prepare detailed bid packages and present findings to senior leadership.
• Identify risk factors and propose mitigation strategies to enhance profitability.
