About the Role

We’re looking for someone who can build a thorough estimate, spot missing scope, and keep the bidding process moving. Relevant project experience includes water and wastewater treatment, manufacturing facilities, process environments, and other large industrial construction projects.

We welcome experienced estimators, industrial project managers with substantial hands-on estimating experience, and candidates from general contractors with relevant industrial project backgrounds. A dedicated Estimator title is not required. Mechanical, HVAC, or MEP expertise is helpful but is not a primary requirement.

This position sits within the company’s Estimating Department and supports industrial projects. Lynnwood is the primary office, with Everett potentially acceptable. Limited hybrid flexibility may be available after onboarding and training, depending on business needs. Candidates must be available for jobsite visits and site walks.

• Work with estimating leadership, project teams, and business development to review assumptions and finalize submissions.
• Manage changing information and deadlines throughout the bidding process.
• Keep pricing, labor data, and cost information organized and current.
• Attend site walks and communicate with project partners.

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on estimating experience on industrial construction projects; 5+ years of relevant experience preferred.
• Experience with complex industrial projects, such as water or wastewater treatment facilities, manufacturing plants, or process-driven environments.

• Strong Excel skills and experience using estimating software.
• Familiarity with construction costs and accounting fundamentals.
