Job description

A respected Owner’s Representative and Project Management firm with a strong statewide reputation is seeking a talented Construction Estimator / Preconstruction Manager to support its expanding Columbia team. This role is perfect for a construction professional who enjoys being involved early, influencing decision-making, and guiding clients from concept through budgeting and design. You’ll join a tight-knit, well-supported Columbia office that offers the resources of a larger organization while maintaining a personal, collaborative feel where your expertise truly matters.


Why Preconstruction Professionals Love This Opportunity

  • Local work only – all projects are in SC and no travel required and predictable work-life balance.
  • Owner’s Representative environment – strategic, advisory-focused work rather than high-volume bid chasing.
  • High-impact projects across K–12, Higher Ed, Healthcare, Municipal, and Commercial markets.
  • Smaller-office culture with strong, experienced leadership and a team that values accuracy, collaboration, and client service.
  • Influence the project early—your cost guidance directly shapes design, scope, and outcomes.
  • Clear path for advancement
  • Balanced workload with a strong emphasis on quality and long-term relationships, not just volume.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead conceptual, schematic, and detailed cost estimates for a variety of project types.
  • Develop, manage, and update project budgets throughout planning and design.
  • Perform quantity takeoffs, evaluate design options, and analyze scopes to ensure accurate forecasting.
  • Review contractor proposals, lead scope reviews, and provide cost recommendations to owners.
  • Support value engineering efforts and develop cost models for various design scenarios.
  • Work closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to identify risks and opportunities early.
  • Assist with schedule development, phasing strategies, and procurement planning.
  • Lead and participate in client meetings, delivering clear, confident cost guidance.


Qualifications

  • 2–10+ years of experience in preconstruction or estimating with a GC, CM, or Owner’s Rep firm.
  • Strong foundation in commercial construction cost management—ideally in Education, Healthcare, Municipal, or Commercial sectors.
  • Ability to create conceptual estimates with limited design information.
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication abilities.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard estimating tools and cost databases.
  • Client-facing experience and the ability to explain cost decisions clearly.


Why Columbia, SC?

Columbia offers a compelling blend of affordability, opportunity, and lifestyle—making it one of the Southeast’s most attractive mid-sized cities for professionals and families.


Columbia Highlights:

  • Central location with easy access to the Upstate, Lowcountry, and Midlands markets.
  • Home to the University of South Carolina, state government, and major healthcare systems.
  • Low cost of living and a strong housing market with desirable suburbs.
  • Outdoor amenities including Lake Murray, riverfront parks, and Congaree National Park.
  • Growing food, arts, and cultural scene with year-round events.
  • Strong school options in districts like Lexington-Richland 5, Lexington 1, and Richland 2.
