Estimator/Project Manager

Our client is hiring an Estimator who can do more than put numbers to plans — we're looking for someone who can help us win work and build strong relationships in the process.

This role is focused on estimating, bid strategy, and relationship-building, with light involvement in preconstruction to ensure a clean transition to the field.

If you're a self-starter who wants to grow with a company and play a direct role in its success, this is that opportunity.

What You'll Own

1. Estimating & Bid Strategy

• Perform quantity takeoffs (earthwork, utilities, site development)
• Build accurate and competitive estimates using HCSS HeavyBid (or similar)
• Analyze plans/specs to identify risk, gaps, and cost drivers
• Develop a clear bid strategy — not just pricing, but positioning to win

2. Business Development (Relationship-Based)

• Build and maintain relationships with GCs, owners, and key clients
• Follow up on bids and stay engaged throughout the award process
• Help identify and pursue target customers and projects
• Represent Brex as a reliable, solutions-oriented partner

3. Vendor & Subcontractor Coordination

• Solicit and level quotes from suppliers and subcontractors
• Build relationships to improve pricing and responsiveness
• Ensure complete scope coverage before bid submission

4. Project Handoff Support (Light Precon)

• Prepare a baseline schedule and job assumptions for awarded work
• Support field teams with change order pricing and scope clarification
• Assist in setting projects up for success — without owning full project management

What Success Looks Like

• Accurate, competitive estimates that protect margin
• Improved win rate with the right customers and projects
• Strong relationships that lead to repeat work
• Clean handoffs to field teams with minimal gaps or surprises

Who You Are

• Self-starter who takes ownership and follows through
• Strong communicator — comfortable with clients, vendors, and internal teams
• Detail-oriented but able to think strategically
• Competitive and driven to win work
• Growth-minded and looking to advance with the company

Qualifications

• Experience in civil construction estimating (earthwork, utilities, site development preferred)
• Ability to perform accurate quantity takeoffs
• Experience with estimating software (HCSS HeavyBid preferred)
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specs, and scopes
• Familiarity with local market pricing and subcontractors is a plus
