Budgeting

About the job

You’re at your best before the first shovel hits the ground.

You see the risks others miss, find opportunities others overlook, and know that winning a project starts long before bid day. If you enjoy leading strategy, mentoring estimators, and helping shape projects from concept through turnover, this is the kind of role where your experience carries real influence.

You’ll spend your time leading the entire preconstruction process – from conceptual budgeting and design development through bid day and project turnover. You’ll guide estimators, review subcontractor proposals, identify constructability and scheduling risks, develop value engineering solutions, and work closely with owners, architects, engineers, and operations to position projects for success. You’ll also help improve estimating processes, implement technology enhancements, and contribute to long-term departmental strategy.

What you’ll get is the opportunity to lead more than estimates. You’ll have a voice in preconstruction strategy, mentor and develop a growing team, and work alongside leadership to continuously improve how projects are pursued and delivered. The salary range for this role is $110,000–$155,000 , along with medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement benefits, paid holidays, PTO, education reimbursement, referral bonuses, and even a paid birthday and volunteer day.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy solving problems before construction begins, balancing technical detail with big-picture thinking, and collaborating with both field and office teams. You’ve led estimating and preconstruction efforts, communicate well with owners and design professionals, and take pride in building processes that make projects—and people—more successful.
