Our client, a premier commercial concrete contractor with a reputation for delivering some of the D.C. area’s largest and most complex cast-in-place projects, is expanding its preconstruction team. With a strong backlog of high-profile commercial work and concrete packages valued up to $10M, they present a rare opportunity to join a growing division and help shape its future. This role goes beyond quantity takeoffs — it’s a leadership position where your expertise will directly drive wins and influence how some of the region’s most ambitious commercial structures are built.

Your Impact:

• Lead the estimating effort on a wide range of ground-up commercial projects, including office towers, mixed-use developments, healthcare facilities, and institutional buildings.
• Serve as a key strategic partner, providing input on constructability, value engineering, and risk mitigation throughout the preconstruction phase.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with general contractors, developers, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to ensure comprehensive and competitive bids.
• Develop and refine estimating processes, tools, and standards for a high-performing preconstruction team.

A Day in the Life:

• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs using industry-leading software (e.g., On-Screen Takeoff).
• Analyze project specifications and drawings to develop accurate material, labor, and equipment cost estimates.
• Solicit and evaluate pricing from vendors and subcontractors to ensure complete and competitive coverage.
• Prepare conceptual budgets during early design phases and detailed estimates for final bid submission.
• Compile professional bid proposals that clearly outline costs, assumptions, and exclusions.
• Collaborate with operations teams to ensure seamless handoff and execution post-award.

What You Bring:

• 2+ years of dedicated concrete estimating experience, preferably within large-scale commercial projects.
• A proven track record of successfully bidding complex cast-in-place concrete packages.
• Technical Mastery: High proficiency with On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Microsoft Excel, and estimating software.
• A Strategic Mindset: Beyond crunching numbers, you evaluate risk, identify value-engineering opportunities, and understand what it takes to build profitably.
