Our market sectors include:

• Retail stores and shopping centers
• Restaurants and food-service facilities
• Automotive dealerships and service centers
• Multifamily developments
• Self-storage facilities
• Medical and healthcare offices
• Fitness, recreation, and wellness facilities
• Office and professional spaces

Our continued growth creates an opportunity for the right estimator to become an important part of the company’s future—not merely another person producing estimates behind the scenes.

A Defined Path to Leadership and Greater Earning Potential

This position is designed for an estimator who wants to grow into leadership.

The successful candidate will be trained and developed to assume responsibility for an estimating division within Berks Construction Group. As the division grows, the candidate will have the opportunity to help select, develop, and lead an estimating team.

The position includes the opportunity to earn significant performance-based bonuses tied to the success of the candidate and their team in securing profitable, awarded projects for Berks Construction Group.

Your work will have a direct and measurable effect on the company’s success—and your compensation and advancement opportunities should reflect that contribution.

This opportunity may be an excellent fit if you:

• Want a clear path from estimator to division leader.
• Want your compensation connected to the profitable work you help secure.
• Want the opportunity to build and lead a successful team.
• Want your recommendations to influence which projects the company pursues.
• Want executive leadership to recognize the value created by estimating.
• Are looking for a long-term opportunity rather than simply another estimating position.

Your Role

You will initially manage commercial estimates from the first review of the opportunity through final bid submission and project turnover. As you demonstrate success, you will assume increasing responsibility for estimating strategy, team performance, project selection, and division results.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing drawings, specifications, addenda, schedules, and other bid documents.
• Preparing detailed estimates for ground-up construction, renovations, and commercial tenant-improvement projects.
• Performing quantity takeoffs and developing labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
• Preparing comprehensive scopes of work for each construction trade.
• Soliciting proposals from qualified subcontractors and suppliers throughout the Northeast.
• Evaluating subcontractor proposals for completeness, exclusions, qualifications, and scope gaps.
• Leveling subcontractor bids to ensure accurate and consistent scope comparisons.
• Identifying design discrepancies, constructability concerns, missing information, and project risks.
• Preparing requests for information when the bid documents require clarification.
• Developing general conditions, allowances, alternates, contingencies, and preliminary project schedules.
• Participating in site visits, pre-bid meetings, scope reviews, and subcontractor interviews.
• Collaborating with business development, bid coordination, project management, and field operations.
• Developing value-engineering options and practical cost-saving recommendations.
• Preparing clear, complete, and professional proposals for clients.
• Participating in final bid reviews and project-selection decisions with company leadership.
• Supporting the transition of awarded projects from estimating to operations.
• Maintaining accurate estimating records, subcontractor coverage information, and historical cost data.
• Strengthening relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, architects, owners, and construction managers.
• Helping recruit, train, mentor, and lead additional estimating personnel as the division grows.
• Establishing estimating standards and processes that improve accuracy, efficiency, accountability, and profitability.

What We Are Looking For

We are interested in speaking with estimators who combine technical estimating ability with sound judgment, leadership potential, and a strong understanding of commercial construction.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Five or more years of commercial construction estimating experience.
• Experience working for a commercial general contractor.
• Experience managing commercial bids from initial invitation through final submission.
• Knowledge of both ground-up construction and commercial tenant improvements.
• Experience with retail, restaurant, automotive, multifamily, self-storage, healthcare, office, industrial, or similar commercial projects.
• Ability to interpret architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection documents.
• Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, sequencing, logistics, and subcontractor scopes.
• Experience performing quantity takeoffs and developing detailed estimates.
• Experience soliciting, evaluating, and leveling subcontractor proposals.
• Ability to recognize incomplete scopes, pricing risks, and constructability concerns.
• Strong mathematical, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage several bids and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and commercial estimating or takeoff software.
• Experience with Bluebeam, Procore, BuildingConnected, or comparable construction platforms.
• Subcontractor relationships within the Northeast are beneficial.
• Prior experience mentoring or leading other estimators is beneficial but not required.
• A degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related discipline is preferred but may be replaced by substantial relevant experience.

The Person Who Will Succeed Here

The right candidate takes ownership of results.

You understand that successful estimating is not just about producing the lowest number. It requires selecting the right opportunities, securing strong subcontractor participation, closing scope gaps, evaluating risk, developing a competitive strategy, and delivering a complete proposal that the operations team can successfully build.

You are competitive without being careless, confident without ignoring risk, and detailed without losing sight of the larger business objective.

You want to win profitable work—and you want to be rewarded for the value you create.
