What You’ll Do: In this role, you’ll report directly to the Director of Preconstruction and have influence on all aspects of the preconstruction process. You will guide the strategic direction of each project during its earliest stages through responsibilities such as: Building and maintaining long-term relationships with subcontractors and key industry partners. Staying current on market trends, material pricing, and construction cost fluctuations. Preparing conceptual and budgetary estimates as well as detailed final bid proposals. Ensuring all budget quotes and proposals are complete, accurate, and professionally presented. Partnering with clients and subcontractors to develop project estimates.

Producing accurate quantity takeoffs and evaluate subcontractor bids/proposals. Reviewing engineering and design specifications to identify cost-saving alternatives (Value Engineering). Supporting the full preconstruction cycle, from early conceptual analysis through final pricing. Serving as a trusted resource to both internal teams and external partners by providing expertise in preconstruction, costing, sequencing, and market analysis. Mentoring, guiding, and supporting junior estimators and project team members, helping develop their technical skills, judgment, and understanding of SIRQ’s standards and values. Requirements What You’ll Bring: You’ll be successful here if you bring a blend of technical skill, ownership mindset, and relationship-driven collaboration. Ideally, you have: A bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or related field (preferred). 5 years of local estimating experience with a commercial general contractor, 15+ years of estimating experience (preferred) Proven ability to mentor, train, and support less-experienced team members in estimating processes, tools, and best practices. A leadership mindset and the confidence to represent SIRQ professionally with clients, design partners, and subcontractors. Experience across commercial, municipal, higher education, hospitality, and especially multifamily markets. Strong ability to read architectural and engineering drawings. An analytical, detail-oriented mindset with exceptional accuracy. Working knowledge of contracts and construction documents. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Technical proficiency in On-Screen Takeoff, RSMeans, SmartBid and MS Office Suite. Why SIRQ?
