JOB OVERVIEW

We’re hiring a remote construction estimator who has experience estimating US residential projects and can help us produce accurate, organized, review-ready estimates.

This role rewards someone who is naturally detail-focused and technical. As described in our role profile, the work centers around a careful and deliberate approach to defined estimating tasks and working in a systematic and patient way with factual and technical information.

# We’re looking for a person who:

- Works with a systematic, patient pace and prefers stable methods, processes, and procedures
- Values quality over speed — “Getting it done right, with no mistakes is key”
- Communicates clearly, briefly, and factually
- Can work independently with focused time to think, verify, and document assumptions
- Is comfortable being reviewed closely (we care a lot about accuracy and consistency)

# Responsibilities:

- Perform quantity takeoffs from PDF plans (Bluebeam + our selected AI takeoff tool)
- Read and interpret architectural and structural plans and MEP sheets when provided
- Build clean, organized estimates helping us create templates and cost structure
- Populate draft estimates in Contractor Foreman (using templates and/or CSV/import workflows)
- Create and maintain bid tabs; send RFQs and track subcontractor responses
- Produce clear assumptions, exclusions, and questions for scope gaps (especially on remodels)
- Maintain strict version control and file organization for every estimate
- Deliver a consistent “handoff package” for final review (takeoff file, Excel draft, bid tab, and notes)

# Required Experience / Skills:

- Proven experience producing US construction estimates - residential remodels and custom homes
- Strong plan reading skills and ability to spot missing scope items
- Strong Excel skills (unit consistency, clean formatting, formulas, lookups)
- Bluebeam experience (or comparable PDF takeoff tools)
- Familiarity with a construction CRM:
- Contractor Foreman preferred because its what we use
- Buildertrend or Procore experience also acceptable
- Excellent written English and a high attention to detail

# Preferred (Nice-to-Have):

- Experience with AI takeoff/estimating tools (Kreo, Togal, STACK, etc.)
- Experience building assemblies / maintaining a cost database
- Bid leveling experience (apples-to-apples comparisons)

# Schedule:

- Remote position
- 2–4 hours overlap with US Mountain Time is a must for coordination
- 40+ hours/week doing estimating and CRM management

Compensation is based on experience and interview process
