Senior Commercial Construction Estimator
Job Description
Not every estimating opportunity gives you the chance to help shape the future of a growing company.
This one does.
We're partnering with a highly respected commercial general contractor that has been building exceptional commercial projects for more than 40 years. As the company continues to grow and take on increasingly complex work, they've retained our services to help them identify an experienced Senior Commercial Construction Estimator who wants to do far more than simply prepare estimates.
This is an opportunity to become a key member of the team, influence how estimating is done, introduce new ideas and technology, and help shape the future of the estimating and preconstruction function.
If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, solving problems, and making a meaningful impact rather than simply maintaining the status quo, I'd welcome the opportunity to tell you more.
What You'll Be Doing
- Prepare detailed estimates for a wide variety of commercial construction projects.
- Work closely with operations, project management, business development, and finance throughout the preconstruction process.
- Help improve and modernize estimating systems, workflows, and technology.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers.
- Visit project sites to better understand scope, constructability, and project requirements.
- Support seamless project handoffs from preconstruction through operations.
- Serve as a trusted resource to leadership on estimating strategy and project planning.
What We're Looking For
- Approximately 5+ years of commercial estimating experience with a General Contractor.
- Strong understanding of commercial construction methods and estimating best practices.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, well-thought-out estimates.
- Someone who enjoys finding better, more efficient ways of doing things.
- Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Project management experience is a plus.
- Experience with estimating software and digital construction tools is highly desirable.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isn't simply another estimating position.
It's an opportunity to:
- Help shape the future of the estimating department.
- Introduce new ideas, technology, and process improvements.
- Work directly with a leadership team that genuinely values new ideas and invests in developing its people.
- Enjoy a collaborative, family-oriented culture where your contributions will be recognized.
- Grow into increasing leadership responsibilities as the company continues to expand.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary of approximately $100,000–$125,000, depending on experience.
- Annual performance bonus.
- Company-provided SUV, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance.
- Comprehensive medical and dental benefits.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Continuing education and professional development support.
- Relocation assistance available for the right candidate.
If you're ready for a position where your experience, ideas, and leadership can truly make a difference, I'd welcome the opportunity to have a confidential conversation.
Meet Your Recruiter
Kinga Wilson
Founder & Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
After moving to the U.S. from England and beginning her career in the IT industry, Kinga saw a problem that needed to be fixed.
There was a disconnect between job seekers and employers, leading to a frustrating recruiting process and, worse, poor hiring decisions.
In 1998, Kinga founded her own search firm—Leaders IT Recruitment—in Lincoln, Nebraska—to bridge that gap. The firm has grown organically through satisfied clients' referrals and has since evolved into Insight Recruitment, partnering with businesses and job candidates across the country while setting the bar for what a recruitment agency should be.
"We get our clients' attention by giving them the clarity they need to make better hiring decisions," Kinga says. "We've helped candidates secure truly life-changing career opportunities, and we've made a meaningful impact on companies by helping them build stronger teams that drive long-term success."
Kinga understands what exceptional candidates are looking for while never losing sight of what businesses need most. She and her small-but-mighty team remain focused on one thing above all else: delivering on their commitments and providing an outstanding experience for every client and candidate they serve.
"Our tools, strategies, and focus have evolved over the years, but our core values have never changed," Kinga says. "We've always believed in quality over quantity, high-touch service from the very beginning, and building lasting relationships based on trust. I'm fortunate to have a team that shares that same commitment to excellence."
It's that partnership approach that continues to set Insight Recruitment apart.
