Join a dynamic team of construction professionals where your analytical expertise drives project success. Work entirely from home while collaborating with industry leaders across the United States. Competitive compensation and a flexible schedule await.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail‑oriented Estimator to join a forward‑thinking firm that designs, builds, and renovates commercial and residential structures nationwide. In this fully remote position, you will translate blueprints and client specifications into accurate cost estimates, ensuring projects remain on budget and on schedule. Your work will directly influence bidding strategies, client negotiations, and overall profitability, making you a pivotal contributor to the company’s growth.

Key Responsibilities

Develop comprehensive cost estimates for new construction, remodel, and renovation projects using industry‑standard software and historical data. Review plans, specifications, and site conditions to identify potential risks and opportunities for cost savings. Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and subcontractors to refine scope definitions and validate assumptions. Prepare bid packages, including material takeoffs, labor hours, and overhead allocations, for internal review and client presentation. Maintain a database of vendor pricing, market trends, and regulatory requirements to keep estimates current and competitive. Provide post‑project cost analysis to improve future estimating accuracy.

Requirements

A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field is preferred, though extensive field experience may substitute for formal education. Minimum of three years of estimating experience in commercial or residential construction, with a proven track record of delivering accurate bids. Proficiency with estimating software such as Sage Estimating, FastEST, or PlanSwift, and strong command of Microsoft Excel for data analysis. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, enabling clear articulation of complex calculations to both technical and non‑technical audiences. Ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, and adapt to shifting project priorities in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Professional certification such as the Certified Cost Professional (CCP) or Constructor Certification (CC) adds distinct value. Experience with design‑build projects or sustainable building practices enhances your fit for this role. Familiarity with estimating for heavy‑civil or specialty trade contracts broadens your versatility. Demonstrated ability to leverage data analytics to forecast material cost fluctuations and adjust estimates accordingly.

Benefits

Salary Range: $45,000 – $65,000 USD/year, commensurate with experience and performance bonuses.

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans with employer‑paid premiums. 401(k) plan with generous company match to support long‑term financial security. Paid time off, holidays, and flexible remote‑work policies that empower work‑life balance. Ongoing professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement and access to industry conferences. A supportive, collaborative culture that values innovation, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Why This Position Stands Out

Working as a Remote Estimator with our organization means you can shape the financial foundation of high‑impact construction projects without ever leaving your home office. You will enjoy the autonomy of a senior role while benefiting from the resources and mentorship of a nationally recognized firm. Our commitment to technology‑driven estimating tools ensures you stay at the forefront of industry best practices, and our competitive compensation package reflects the critical role you play in sustaining project profitability. If you thrive on turning complex data into clear, actionable insights and love the challenge of building success from anywhere, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
