Job description

Job Title: Estimator

Location: Springfield, MA

Salary: $100,000–$190,000 Base

$100M–$200M+ Projects | Leading New England General Contractor


An outstanding opportunity to join one of the top General Contractors in New England, with an exceptional reputation for delivering complex, high-value construction projects across Massachusetts.


The business has successfully delivered more than $2BN worth of construction projects and continues to secure major work across the region. Despite that scale, they've retained the culture and accessibility of a family-owned contractor — operating with lean teams where individual contribution is genuinely recognized.


The Opportunity

They're looking to add an experienced Estimator to their Worcester-based preconstruction team.

You'll have the opportunity to estimate some of the largest projects in the Massachusetts market, including:


  • $100M–$200M+ major construction projects
  • 100,000–300,000+ sq. ft. developments
  • Large-scale educational and public-sector projects
  • Private projects typically ranging from $30M–$50M
  • Massachusetts Chapter 149A work


This isn't a role where you'll simply sit behind a desk producing numbers.

You'll have direct client exposure, participate in detailed estimate reconciliation meetings, work closely with experienced leadership and play an important role in mentoring and developing junior estimators.


Why Join?


  • $100,000–$190,000 base salary
  • $2BN+ of projects successfully delivered
  • Join one of the top-ranked General Contractors in the region
  • Work on major $100M–$200M+ projects
  • Excellent pipeline of large-scale Massachusetts work
  • Established, financially strong and family-owned business
  • Lean team where your contribution is highly visible
  • Direct exposure to clients and senior leadership
  • Opportunity to mentor and develop junior estimators
  • Healthcare, dental & vision
  • Approximately 3 weeks PTO
  • 401(k)
  • Flexibility around office attendance for the right experienced candidate


Who They're Looking For


They're deliberately open-minded on background.


You could be an Estimator or Senior Estimator looking for greater responsibility and larger projects, or an experienced Project Manager looking to transition into preconstruction.

The key is being someone who can get into the detail of the numbers while also confidently sitting across the table from a client and walking them through an estimate.


Previous Chapter 149A experience is advantageous but not essential.


If you're looking to work on some of Massachusetts' largest projects with a highly respected contractor that combines the resources and project scale of a major GC with the culture and visibility of a family-owned business, this is an opportunity worth discussing.
