  • 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.
