A remote construction estimator travels to job sites to estimate construction project costs. You primarily work in a company’s main office, but you frequently travel to job sites to determine the materials necessary to complete the job bid. This is what “remote” means in this context. You consider the cost of materials, labor contracts, and other factors to calculate a budget for each project and ensure costs stay within a predetermined range. Your responsibilities include examining project blueprints, researching labor costs and trends, and completing other budgeting duties. You work with engineers, architects, and contractors to come up with a bid that works for everyone and ensures optimal project results.
