  • Estimate costs for reinforced concrete, structural systems, and related construction scopes.
  • Coordinate with contractors, architects, and project stakeholders to gather technical information and ensure estimate accuracy.
  • Conduct outreach to contractors and architects on behalf of the company to support project development and business opportunities.
  • Prepare organized, bid-ready documentation to support proposals, budgets, and estimating processes.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards of accuracy, organization, and timely delivery.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and contribute to continuous improvements in estimating workflows.

What you'll need to know

  • Proven senior-level experience in construction cost estimating.
  • Extensive experience estimating Custom Luxury Home projects.
  • Strong background in reinforced concrete and structural construction estimating.
  • Previous experience working on U.S. construction projects, with South Florida experience strongly preferred, allowing you to work efficiently and understand local construction practices.
  • Excellent ability to interpret architectural, structural, and construction drawings quickly and accurately.
  • Strong experience performing material takeoffs, quantity calculations, and developing comprehensive project estimates.
  • Ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines without compromising quality.
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence collaborating with contractors, architects, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Advanced English proficiency.
  • Reliable availability, a consistent work schedule, and interest in long-term professional growth.

A great plus

  • Experience working directly with U.S.-based contractors and architectural firms.
  • Knowledge of the South Florida luxury residential construction market.
  • Experience with AutoCAD, estimating software, and collaborative project management tools.
  • A track record of improving estimating processes and identifying cost efficiencies.
