What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an estimator, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Estimator, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in construction, engineering, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree or professional experience. Familiarity with estimating software (such as Bluebeam, ProEst, or PlanSwift), cost databases, and Microsoft Excel is typically required. Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills help you collaborate effectively with clients, vendors, and project teams. These competencies ensure accurate cost projections, minimize financial risks, and contribute to successful project planning and execution.

How does an estimator typically collaborate with project managers and other team members during the bidding process?

Estimators work closely with project managers, engineers, and procurement teams to gather project requirements, clarify scope, and identify potential risks. During the bidding process, they participate in meetings to review plans, discuss material options, and ensure that their cost projections align with project goals. Effective communication and coordination with these stakeholders are crucial, as estimators often need to adjust estimates based on new information or feedback. This collaborative approach helps create accurate, competitive bids and supports successful project execution.

Our success is built on craftsmanship, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to safe production Every project we take on-large or small-comes with its own challenges, and it's our people and processes that set us apart. We're looking for a Senior Estimator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to apply advanced technical knowledge, analytical expertise, and sound judgment to support our Central Division team in Indianapolis, Indiana.  This role plays a key part in developing competitive, accurate bids and shaping project strategy from the earliest stages.

  • Build and manage relationships with subcontractors and vendors, including soliciting, leveling, and analyzing bids for scope and competitiveness
  • Assess project risks and contract requirements, recommending strategies, contingencies, and proposal language to protect the company
  • Provide leadership and mentorship to estimating team members while collaborating with operations, clients, and internal stakeholders throughout the preconstruction process

Qualifications & Experience Needed

  • 5–10 years of estimating experience with demonstrated ownership of complex bids
