A highly respected, $500M General Contractor in Chicago is looking to add a Senior Estimator to their team. This is a strategic hire with a defined succession path — the current VP of Estimating is planning to retire in the next 2–3 years, and the individual who steps into this role will be directly positioned to take over the department and lead the full estimating team.

About the Role

As a Senior Estimator, you will play a key role in pricing and winning a diverse range of projects across the Chicagoland area. You’ll work alongside leadership, develop junior estimators, and influence the long-term strategy of the preconstruction group.

Responsibilities

  • Lead estimating efforts for projects ranging from $5M–$70M
  • Prepare detailed conceptual and hard-bid estimates
  • Manage budgets, quantity take-offs, subcontractor outreach, and bid leveling
  • Collaborate with preconstruction, operations, and executive teams
  • Present proposals and pricing strategies to ownership
  • Support, mentor, and develop junior estimators
  • Help shape department processes and best practices
  • Transition into the VP of Estimating role as the current VP retires

Project Portfolio

  • Commercial & corporate interiors
  • Healthcare
  • K–12 & higher education
  • Industrial & manufacturing
  • Multifamily & mixed-use
  • Municipal & civic buildings

What They’re Looking For

  • 8–20+ years of estimating or preconstruction experience
  • Strong commercial GC background (ground-up + interiors)
  • Ability to lead estimates independently
  • Strong local subcontractor relationships
  • Experience mentoring or supporting junior estimators

What They Offer

  • $130,000–$175,000 base salary
  • Annual bonus
  • Free healthcare for you and your family
  • 401(k) with match
  • Stable, long-term pipeline of work across Chicago
  • Career progression to VP of Estimating within 2–3 years
  • Opportunity to lead a division within a financially strong, growing GC

About the Company

This firm is a well-established, Chicago-based GC delivering over $500M annually . They’re known for high-quality work, strong client relationships, and a culture that promotes internally. With the upcoming retirement of their long-time VP of Estimating, this is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role at a major contractor.
